(Massachusetts).- Casinos in Massachusetts recorded a strong month of revenue in March, with totals hitting pre-pandemic levels for the first time since COVID-19 brought the gaming industry to a halt last spring.
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission said Encore Boston Harbor, MGM Springfield, and Plainridge Park Casino had brought in a combined $84 million last month. That’s more than any month since February 2020.
The totals are an encouraging sign for the industry, which still faces capacity restrictions and must follow strict public health protocols after months of anemic business. Casino operators across the country have for months been hoping to see a surge in visits as vaccinations rise.
The casinos closed for four months when the pandemic struck in March 2020, reopening that July under state and commission guidelines. In February, the state allowed the casinos to increase to 40% capacity from the previous limit of 25%. The limits include workers and staff.
Bruce Band, the Gaming Agents Division Chief, said MGM Springfield recorded its highest capacity, just under 25%, on March 27, with 1,944 people, Mass Live reports. That day coincided with a car giveaway promotion, he said. Pre-pandemic capacity at MGM was about 8,000.
Encore Boston Harbor peaked at 3,664 patrons on the same date, representing 22% capacity during a slot play promotion, Band said. Plainridge Park also hit its high for occupancy on March 27 at about 25% capacity including 1,434 patrons, Band said. That occurred during a sweepstakes promotion, he said.
