Last week, as Encore Boston Harbor celebrated the debut of legalized sports betting with a celeb-packed bash on its opulent gaming floor, it also — a bit more quietly — opened its doors to gamblers somewhere else: Inside the parking garage.
The space is called the Express Sportsbook, a small betting parlor next to 15-minute parking spaces where people can pull up and gamble on the go.
It’s somewhat of a surprising move for Encore, since the $2.6 billion resort — built to bring “glamour on a grand scale to the Mystic riverfront” — already opened the WynnBET Sportsbook inside, a place equipped with lounge seating, a full bar, and a 123-foot-long “video wall.”
