Encore, MGM Springfield Casinos Expanding Blackjack, Bringing Back Craps
BOSTON (CBS) - Encore Boston Harbor and MGM Springfield have been given the OK by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission to expand blackjack tables from three players to four and to bring back craps.
For blackjack, plexiglass dividers will still need to be in place to separate the dealer from the players and the players from one another.
Back for the first time since the pandemic began, craps will be limited to six players at a time. All dice will be sanitized after each shooter's turn.
Similar to blackjack, plexiglass dividers will separate the dealer from the players during a craps game and plexiglass dividers will separate players from each other. The casinos will also be required to display signs at each table that state "All bets must be placed before the dice are sent out."
People who are not involved in the game will not be allowed to stand near the tables.
Capacity limits at both casinos will remain capped at 40-percent.
