Wynn Resorts opposes Massachusetts online casino bill
Wynn Resorts urged a Massachusetts legislative committee to reject a proposed bill allowing mobile wagers on poker, blackjack and other games of chance. The company argued that online gambling could threaten jobs and reduce related tax revenues; DraftKings backed legalisation, citing potential tax receipts of $170 million to $200 million annually under the bill.
The competing positions may shape whether Massachusetts permits online casino gambling and how a proposed framework is assessed.
