New England General Discussion - Poker Room List in OP

Worth pointing out that this is 7+1 on "most" days, and 7+2 on days with a HH promo.

Are there still no casinos in Boston, Massachusetts? I'm there for a week in June and wouldn't mind a casino night

Luxury Hotel & Casino in Boston | Encore Boston Harbor

they have poker

Thanks!

rake is super duper high but games are supposed to be pretty decent

Meet up game anyone? :p

would love to but i'm in seattle now - never even played encore as i was in western mass where mgm springfield was closer and my time in boston was spent with friends and family

but high rake and good games are what i've heard constantly about the place

oh and weird hours for poker, be sure to check online or call ahead - that's another reason why i never played there, the 2 or 3 times i had a chance to go the room was closed or about to close so it wouldn't be worth going - idk if that's still the case or was just a temporary post covid thing

EBH is now 24/7 for poker. The rake is high, but the games greatly make-up for them. I would for sure check poker atlas a week or two prior to get an idea of the tournament schedule & HH promos.

I think the intro post is in serious need of updating.

I offered to put together an updated list a few pages back and was told that there wasn't an active mod in this forum ¯\_(ツ😉_/¯

Let me see what I can do about that.

I've taken care of the active mod situation. Send me the updated list when you have it ready.

I, for one, welcome our new overlord!

Whatever happened to that 3rd Massachusetts casino?

You mean Plainridge Park, which has no poker?

The third casino was to go to a Tribe, the Wampanoags in Taunton. They had issues but are now opening slowly, the project "casino" they have right now is called the First Light Casino. All it is right now is like 50 slots. Not sure what their future plans are but they have a web site with info.

The Nash finally got a half dozen of those new tables they've been talking about for ages. They are quite nice!

There is no more of the progressive wheel-spin flop side bets in the poker room either. It was annoying to double up a short stack only for them to blow my money $5 a hand for the next 3 orbits before I had a chance to win it back. So good riddance.

oh, that's good to see. Those tables are the one thing that bother me at the Nash. (I understand they're not all gone yet but eventually.. hopefully)
