Poker is allowed, but the casino has chosen not to resume it, regulators said in a meeting Thursday. The casino reopened in July 2020 after getting the go-ahead from government officials. The Massachusetts casino, which opened in 2019, still hasn’t reopened its 74-table poker room.
It’s not true of every poker room in the country, however, with arguably the most notable non-reopening belonging to the apparently popular poker room at Encore Boston Harbor. Poker rooms across the country have reopened since the pandemic started to wane amid widespread vaccinations. Is poker being used as a bargaining chip for sports betting in the Bay State?
