The poker room at the MGM Springfield casino reopens after 18-month interruption due to COVID – MassLive.com

The MGM Springfield casinos poker room is scheduled to reopen its doors Friday from 11 a.m. after it was closed due to the COVID pandemic.

MGM Springfield is thrilled to reopen our Poker Room. We are looking forward to welcoming back our loyal players and dozens of employees who have waited for this day for more than a year and a half, Chris Kelley, MGM Springfield president and COO said.

With the health and safety of guests and employees at the forefront, the room will offer 13 tables where up to nine people can play and live cash games.

MGM Springfield reported $19.4 million in gross gaming revenue from slots and table games in September, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission reported.

That was down about 11% from the $21.8 million it reported a month earlier in August 2021, but up about 10.2% from the $17.6 million MGM Springfield reported a year earlier in September 2020 as the industry was just reopening from COVID shutdowns.

Revenue reported in September 2019 was $20.2 million, which was down about $700,000 from August 2019.

The poker room will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 3 a.m.
