Casinos in Massachusetts


The current plan is 3 full casinos and one racino.  Some experts say the state can’t handle more than one.  I would like to see two, with totally different business models (and I am ambivalent about the racino)

Downtown Resort-style Casino:  High end, dressy, high minimum bets, expensive drinks, Mortons Restaurant,

Western Mass local casino: Modest fixtures, jeans, low minimum bets, happy hours, Applebee’s Restaurant.

By targeting, they can increase the fit with a larger base of customers and still give people what they want.
