The Massachusetts Gaming Commission is seeking an audit of gambling among the state’s Asian communities to assess whether casino marketing and outreach are predatory.
The effort follows earlier reporting that New England casinos heavily targeted Asian communities through advertising, shuttle buses, postcards, ads in Asian-language newspapers, billboards, and booths at cultural festivals.
The Boston Globe previously reported that Encore Boston Harbor, Mohegan Sun, Foxwoods Resort Casino, and Bally’s Twin River targeted people of Asian descent across the region.
