That title easily goes to Rhode Island.

BTW, met a guy last night from Revere who was in town for the Superb Owl, couldn't stop telling everyone how much he loves playing in Salem NH, specifically Chasers.

I feel NH has the highest, let's call it, "white trash" ratio of all the NE states. But then again, Maine has LePage as Gov, so that puts them in contention.

RI is way more corrupt than MA, and I've lived in both.

White Trash.....................

Keene, NH
Winchendon, MA
Central Falls AND West Warwick, RI
Waterbury, CT

I do need a suggestion for Maine. Perhaps this will fulfill the wish that we get off just talking about New Hampshire

But hey, we're all peoples of the Northeast really. I'd spend a thousand years in NH rather than set foot in Alabama or Oklahoma.

I went to school for two years in Alabama. I don't know what your history is with the state but it really has a lot of beautiful places. I've worked with two people from Oklahoma and from these experiences that place may be off a little bit.

wow....any thoughts if they change the name?

I guess it is good for the Wynn Resorts, the Company, him going away, since it is a publicly traded. Just these hardliners calling for his name removed. He has 6 Casinos....


whatever happened to the Indian Casino Idea in Taunton area? Haven't heard much about that Casino area...

I'm 100% in favor of changing the name. I think it'll happen all over. I'm not a business guy but I can't imagine branding wise you want to be associated with a creepy old man. Thats what I see when I take a look at Mr. Wynn. It seems the allegations are in line with that gut feeling.

I'm honestly really wonder what it must be like. Yes you achieved epic level of success and its take a huge ego and ridiculous focused ambition to do so, but as we are seeing it generally also comes with such low emotional intelligence. I wonder how happy someone like that can really be treating people so horrible never mind I"m sure his ego took a huge hit when it realized he couldn't continue to act like a piece of **** and get away with it. I wonder what that soul searching looks like for someone like him.


as far as SE MA. Who cares. Worst part of the state of MA hands down. All types of garbage people. I personally had to get rid of a few friends when they moved down the Route 24 corridor. Now they are no where near the level of garbage person that we see in NH but still. Either way I can't wait to play cards at the brand new #MeToo Resort Casino.

haha, Slingtown...nice take on South Shore MA.

Was just curious on Taunton. I say it's bad idea, with Twin close by, the bad slot place in plainridge as well....no way a casino is viable to succeed long term in that area.

I agree, on name association, but aren't tons tired with the naming?

maybe Foxwoods will swoop in to save themselves with an offer...

I doubt an offer from Foxwoods would be accepted. Aren't they still blowing off their creditors?

Oh I hadn't the slightest idea. I just know they will be further decimated when Wynn Boston(or whatever it gets called) & MGM Springfield....

what big chain Casinos are there...

Jack Casino(Think only Ohio)...

MGM...already taken

The new casino is going to bring in over 250mil in annual taxes. Nothing is going to be done to delay that. Encore is probably the easiest name change.

Bingo - Mass will make you jump through hoops and grease the right people in order to get the right to build, but then once you're green lit they want you up and running ASAP such that the tax money will floweth.

I have no horse in the race, but Chasers daily promos are getting ALL the poker players to their room. That can not be good for the others.

15 tables full and huge lists at 2:30 on a Thursday. Insane.

Serious question — if you ran another local room, what would you do here?

Surprised Aces full has not been beat with so many tables running each week.

As far as other rooms: Maybe do a shared jackpot between them? Come up with a creative tournament structure to get people in the door? Basically it looks like the player market is so small there needs to be a hook to attract business.
