Here is an article re: the MGM Springfield Mass Casino within 10 miles near where I live and which opened in August of 2018.
I am thrilled that the casino is struggling and frankly hope and feel confident that they will eventually go under.
I say that because 1) ever since they opened, the word is that Casino is cheap(especially the slot machines are tight and don't payout much)
and 2) the Springfield area in general is not made up of wealthy people, meaning that the last thing it needs is a corporation like MGM
to come in and extort/ siphon off people's money.
Thankfully way before the Virus, overall revenues had already shrunk dramatically from where they were initially when there was a lot of excitement
and curiosity about having a casino in one's backyard.
For the record my wife and I went to the casino ONE TIME ONLY about a month or so after it was over.
We wanted to see the place and have some fun with the slots for about a half an hour or so(I think we broke even).
Our impression was that while it was impressive with all of the many slot machines and its overall eye appeal, we also noticed
that the slot machines were closely packed together obviously so that MGM could extort as much money out of as many people who
they could jam in-the food court also sucked and was not even remotely close to the one you can find in a shopping mall.
We did go to some of casinos last July while in Vegas(not MGM), and our overall impression is that overall they left the MGM in Springfield trailing badly
in the dust(I hadn't been to Vegas in five years prior to last year).
