Massachusetts study advises against retail sports betting kiosks
A study commissioned by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission recommends against introducing sports betting kiosks in retail venues, according to its researchers. Spectrum Gaming Group and the Massachusetts Council on Gaming and Health said expected economic benefits could be outweighed by financial and social costs. In Ohio, the report found kiosk oversight cost $650,000 against $305,000 in kiosk revenue.
The findings could inform the commission’s consideration of whether retail sports betting kiosks are viable in Massachusetts.
