Penn Entertainment continues its push for cashless wagering to come to Plainridge Park Casino. First, state regulators must approve the use of the technology and develop the regulatory framework for it.
However, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission expressed concerns about cashless wagering. Specifically regarding the responsible gambling considerations that come with it.
Casinos usually reserve cashless wagering for online betting , as most brick-and-mortar properties are cash-focused. But Massachusetts online casinos aren’t legal yet, and Bay State bettors have sweepstakes casinos as their only online option.
At last week’s MGC meeting, Deputy General Counsel Carrie Torrisi announced that Penn will give a responsible gaming-focused presentation. The commission scheduled it for its Feb. 1 meeting.
