Wynn Boston Harbor To Have 90-Table Poker Room$2.1 Billion Casino To Host One Of America's Largest Poker Rooms |
|
On Aug 3, 2016, full construction of the $2.1 billion Wynn Boston Harbor resort officially started in Everett, Massachusetts just 5 miles from Downtown Boston. In less than three years from that date, the casino will begin taking wagers.
The casino is slated to have a 90-table poker room, a plan that was originally hinted at last fall. With that many tables, the casino’s poker room would be one of the largest in the country. In the region it would trail only Foxwoods with 94 tables.
Other large poker rooms in the region are Borgata (75 tables), Parx (46 tables) and Maryland Live (52 tables). The Commerce is still the largest poker room in the country with more than 200 tables.
Wynn Boston Harbor suffered a number of setbacks in the process of receiving the necessary state and local approval to build, but all of that has been settled and soon the Northeast will have another massive poker room.
Massachusetts is also currently considering legalizing online poker.
