*The purpose of this section is to inform the public of state gambling laws and how the laws might apply to various forms of gaming. It is not legal advice.

Slot Machine Private Ownership in Massachusetts

It is legal to own a slot machine privately in Massachusetts if it is 30 years old or older.

Gaming Control Board in Massachusetts

The Massachusetts Gaming Commission, known as Mass Gaming, became law on November 22, 2011 when Governor Deval Patrick signed the Expanded Gaming Act.

Casinos in Massachusetts

There are three non-tribal casinos and one cruise ship based in Massachusetts.

The largest casino in Massachusetts is Encore Boston Harbor with 2,800 gaming machines.

The second-largest casino is MGM Springfield with 2,550 gaming machines.

Commercial Casinos in Massachusetts

Massachusetts has three land-based casinos including:

Encore Boston Harbor in Everett located 5 miles north of downtown Boston.
MGM Springfield located 92 miles west of Boston and 26 miles north of Hartford, Connecticut.
Plainridge Park Casino in Plainville located 36 miles southwest of Boston and 22 miles northeast of Providence, Rhode Island.

A cruise ship sailing out of the Port of Boston is the NCL Dawn. The ship offers onboard gambling via slot machines and table games when traveling in international waters.

Tribal Casinos in Massachusetts

In 2012, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe have an approved tribal-state gaming compact to offer tribal gaming in Southeastern Massachusetts. This Region C includes the counties of Bristol, Plymouth, Nantucket, Dukes, and Barnstable.

Subsequently, construction started on The First Light Resort & Casino in Taunton. However, progress has slowed due to lawsuits. Construction has been on hold since mid-2016. It is uncertain whether the casino will ever open.

Another tribal casino may yet open in Massachusetts as it would not require a state gaming license but instead be subject to the federal IGRA. The Aquinnah Cliffs Casino located in Martha’s Vineyard would offer 250 Class II, bingo-style competition games. However, it, too, has also been subject to lawsuits which has delayed its completion.

Other Gambling Establishments

As an alternative to enjoying Massachusetts slot machine casino gambling, consider exploring casino options in a nearby state. Bordering Massachusetts is:

North: New Hampshire Slots and Vermont Slots
East: The Atlantic Ocean
South: Connecticut Slots and Rhode Island Slots
West: New York Slots

Each of the links above will take you to my blog for that neighboring U.S. state to Massachusetts.

Payout Returns in Massachusetts

Massachusetts law has set a minimum theoretical payout of 80% for gaming machines.

Monthly revenue reports for each casino are publicly available from Mass Gaming. These reports offer monthly casino hold percentages as well as player win percentages. Note that these return statistics are referred to, somewhat misleadingly, as payout%.

The January 2020 player win percentage for each casino is:

Encore Boston Harbor: 92.63%
MGM Springfield: 91.60%
Plainridge Park: 92.37%

In January 2020, Encore Boston Harbor has the highest player win percentage. However, for the prior five months, Plainridge Park had the highest payout win percentage.
