Only days separate bettors from the legal launch of sports betting in Massachusetts next week, and officials at Encore Boston Harbor said Wednesday they are prepared to help the new industry get up and running.
Sports betting kiosks emblazoned with the WynnBET logo, the sportsbook behind the casino’s wagering operations, were installed and verified over the last week. An “express sportsbook” is almost done in the garage. And the multi-million dollar sports lounge near the main casino floor is finally complete with areas to place bets.
The lavish casino in Everett — which on Wednesday featured a carousel in its lobby covered in yellow, red and purple flowers and large stuffed animals riding shotgun — is running through the final checklist before the launch of in-person betting on Tuesday.
