The Massachusetts Gaming Commission’s Investigation and Enforcement Bureau (IEB) issued a Notice of Non-Compliance to Encore Boston Harbor for overserving patrons alcohol on three different occasions in August and September. It was the first Notice of Non-Compliance for Encore on the improper service of alcohol, but the second Notice to the license-holder since September. The casino received a different Notice of Non-Compliance for not properly putting a stop to a large party in their hotel that violated COVID-19 guidelines last September. The Notice of Non-Compliance is like a first-warning and paves the way to a fine if the situation is repeated. It also goes on the permanent record of the licensee and is seen as a warning sign by the MGC and the management of the casino. The Notice was issued on Dec. 4 and came after an investigation of overserving patrons alcohol on Aug. 2, Aug. 29 and Sept. 4. The MGC discussed the matter in depth at its Dec. 17 meeting. “Today marks a serious note for Encore,” said Chair Judd-Stein.
