Massachusetts Gaming Commission Chair Cathy Judd-Stein announced Friday in blog post that the Commission has voted 5-0 to extend closures of the Encore Boston Harbor, MGH Springfield and Plainridge Park casinos to 18 May, to correspond with Gov. Charlie Baker's COVID-19 closure order in regard to nonessential businesses.
The Commission will convene a Restart Working Group charged with oversight and planning for the regulatory process required to bring the casinos back online, as well as operational planning for health and safety of casino guests and employees.
