At a Dec. 7 hearing, members of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission delayed a vote on awarding the Western Massachusetts casino a license after commissioners expressed frustration with how its application answered too many questions by referencing the reader to a separate document from BetMGM, an online sportsbook.
