The parcel where the sportsbook and new poker room would be built fits only part of that description. “Shall the City of Everett permit the operation of a gaming establishment licensed by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission to be located at the property located on Horizon Way (off ‘Lower Broadway’) in Everett, formerly known as the Monsanto Chemical Site?”

The city of Everett, where the casino is located, approved the following referendum’s language: The sticking point in Encore Boston Harbor’s plans is that the language of the 2013 referendum may specifically bar the expansion due to its detailed physical description. No timetable exists for when the proposed project would be completed, nor has it been specified whether the proposed addition would be connected to the existing casino via a skybridge or other pedestrian conveyance to maintain the property’s continuity.

Should Encore’s proposed expansion receive state approval, the casino’s poker room would be moved from its present location to a spot within the new addition, along with a sportsbook. However, the MGC continues to mull the exact language of the referendum under which local voters approved the initial casino project in 2013. The future of Encore Boston Harbor’s poker offerings remains uncertain as the Massachusetts Gaming Commission considers the casino’s request to expand its property by building an additional gambling venue across the street from the current Encore Boston Harbor.
