Don’t bother trying to make plans with anyone from the Mass. Gaming Commission in December.
Beginning with a meeting Thursday morning, commissioners and agency staff are poised to meet in public on 13 of the 17 business days between the start of December and Christmas as they try to make good on their projected “late January” start of sports betting while also dealing with matters at the state’s casinos, slots parlor, simulcast centers and horse racing track. The meetings will be a mix of regular commission business, public input sessions and hearings on individual sports betting license applications, which kick off next week.
