probabyl last time i'm in this thread for a while. I agree about the competition and my response to the MGC was bascialyl thanks but it looks like Eastern MA players will need to leave the state and its a joke we can't have more options as clearly there could be at least a few rooms that open up.Īt this point I am done and over it, i think it could help suggesting they eliminate all extra rake over 10 and then it cant' hurt to let the MGC we need more poker in the state. I can't say its true, but i got the sense I wasn't being bullshit. For more information regarding administrative policies such as complaint. then the fact they are in a very expensive place makes it tough. Encore Boston Harbor 1 Broadway Everett, MA 02149.

I can't really say either way, i know they mentioned the taxes and regulatory stuff as the reason which does make sense in that MA makes things really non-competitive. otherwise they couldn't keep poker at a loss. I was told the room was not making money and the rake keeps it open. They're so hostile to their patrons it blows my mind. Feels like they're trying to squeeze every last cent out of us. The truth is probably that they were making money, but not a killing. I understand Mass is more expensive to do business than LV, but come on.

So that means either they're lying or they couldn't make a profit despite making more money than any other room.

The class-action complaint also claimed Encore failed to refund slot credits to Schuster once he cashed out on a slot machine.This is interesting because I heard back in the first year of the room their revenue was the most for any poker room in the U.S. Of the total gross gaming revenue, about $9.1 million was from slots and $7.6 million from table games, according to the Massachusetts Gaming Commission. The lawsuit was filed the same day Encore announced the casino brought in $16.7 million in its opening week, from June 23 to June 30. In a response to the lawsuit, Encore spokesman Michael Weaver said in a statement: “Since opening, Encore Boston Harbor follows the Massachusetts Gaming Commission regulations for blackjack payouts.” Garick claims this change could reduce payouts by $85,440 each day, translating to $30 million in additional profits each year. Reading attorney Joshua Garick on Monday filed a class-action lawsuit in Middlesex Superior Court against Encore Boston Harbor and Wynn Resorts on behalf of plaintiff Richard Schuster, claiming the $2.6 billion casino tilted the blackjack payout odds at 6 to 5 instead of 3 to 2, in violation of state law. A New York gambler is suing Encore Boston Harbor, accusing the Everett casino of tilting the blackjack payout odds when he played there last week.
