The Massachusetts Gaming Commission voted unanimously to award the state's first sports betting license to Encore Boston Harbor in Everett.
While the Encore application did not spark as many administrative or policy concerns in commissioners as the other applications did, the Everett casino's hearing Thursday was not without some hiccups. For one thing, the Gaming Commission realized halfway through Thursday's meeting that Encore had not submitted a specific section of their application and the regulators had to vote to agree to accept the late submission.
In January 2020, Plainridge parent company Penn Entertainment bought a 36% stake in Barstool in a transaction valued at roughly $163 million and could assume 100% ownership. Plainridge General Manager North Grounsell told commissioners this week that his Plainville facility's sportsbook is going to be"a Massachusetts-centric fully integrated Barstool-branded sportsbook and restaurant.
Plainridge and Penn officials knew that Massachusetts regulators were concerned about Portnoy's influence even before they gave the commission a heads-up on the November article in the New York Times. In the wake of previous articles that raised sexual misconduct allegations against Portnoy, the Gaming Commission earlier this year put Penn on notice that it would be keeping a very close eye on Portnoy and Barstool.
At one point during Tuesday's hearing, Chairwoman Cathy Judd-Stein asked Chamberlin and other Penn executives who were trying to paint a picture of Barstool as responsible gambling advocates whether they were truly being"genuine here."
