There weren't many 'one-arm bandits.' I didn't see my favorite - Haywire.

Most of the slot machines were electronic machines - like playing on a computer.

You can buy Massachusetts Lottery Scratch tickets at some Lottery machines.

There are lots of ATM machines around the casino floor.

You can buy souvenir dice ($14 for a pair) at the DrugStore - near the main Casino entrance.

When we got there the Blackjack table minimum started at $5, but by 2 pm most tables were $25 or $50.

(No you can't just put pennies in - you need to use a cash voucher.) Lots of Slot machines- many of them are penny slots.We arrived at 9 and noticed it was very quiet around the casino.

This could be that we were there at an off time.

There are supposed to be drink servers around the casino - but I rarely saw them.

Buffet is in the main casino- so kids are allowed.

We noticed that at 1pm the line was much smaller. Don't be discouraged if you see a long line when the buffet opens.

The Clam Chowder was really good - highly recommend.

Lots of great options in the Buffet - Seafood, American Fare, Chinese, and Salads.

If you're not familiar with the area, you might want to use water transportation. Getting back to Boston was a bit tricky during rush hour.

The casino is easy to get to from Boston.

You have to pay for self-parking unless you use the Membership card which gives you free weekday parking.

There is a Dunkin Donuts on site which offers the complete Dunkin menu.

Really nothing for kids to do while the adults gamble - Definitely not a place for anyone under 21.

Nothing for kids - no game room, pool or activity area.

The Hotel/Casino officially opened on June 23, 2019. It was a fun day in Massachusetts newest casino. Yesterday I spent six hours at the new Encore Boston Harbor. Encore Boston Harbor Encore Boston Harbor great casino near Boston
