Sports betting officially begins in Massachusetts next Tuesday at 10 am. It was just approved by the mass gaming commission this past Friday, so it gives bettors the option if they don’t want to go into the casino, they can park in the garage, go inside, quickly place their bet and then head home. One unique feature at Encore Boston Harbor is the express sports book that’s located in the parking garage. “From my experiences in Vegas, I mean people travel out for it, now you have it right across from downtown Boston you can come and get that experience and all the different prop bets on the Super Bowl so it’ll be a great time.” “There’s no bigger event in America than the Super Bowl you see the ratings on television and sports books are no different, it’s a different unique experience,” said Alan Berg, Wynnbet’s Vice President of Trading. That launch happening just in time for some of the biggest sporting events of the year that encore bets will build excitement inside its sportsbook and casino. “We’ve placed all of the betting kiosks throughout the resort so that we don’t create bottlenecks of crowds, so we’ve really done a lot in anticipation of what we think will be a very big launch.” “We’ve taken a lot of measures to make sure that everyone can have access to the building,” said Holaday.
