There’s a little nook in the casino for vending machines at Encore Boston Harbor in Everett, Massachusetts.
The machines don’t sell cigarettes, candy bars or soft drinks. Instead, patrons can purchase packets of lottery tickets from the Massachusetts Lottery. The state’s three major casinos are required to provide space to sell tickets.
What a difference from Nevada, where Culinary Local 226 is fighting an uphill battle to get a proposal on the ballot to amend the state’s Constitution to allow for the development of a state lottery.
The process for legalizing a lottery in Nevada follows a lengthy path. The Legislature must first have a resolution approved in a session.
