The requirements related to craps state that players must remain seated while gambling, and no patrons will be permitted to stand or congregate around tables. In a 4-0 vote, the Commission also approved the Minimum Requirements for Craps, featuring a maximum of six players per table with three players maximum on each side of the table. Chairs for unavailable positions will be removed. A minimum of approximately three feet between player positions would be maintained, measured from the center of each seat. Those requirements state that player positions would continue to be separated by plexiglass dividers not less than 5’10” tall, separating the dealer from players and between player positions. In a 3-1 vote during the MGC’s remote public meeting on March 11, 2021, the Commission approved the Minimum Requirements for Expanding Blackjack-Style Tables to Include a 4th Player Position, as laid out by the MGC’s Investigations and Enforcement Bureau. The Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) on Thursday voted to approve a request from MGM Springfield and Encore Boston Harbor, the Commonwealth’s two Category 1 Gaming Licensees, to reintroduce a 4th player position at blackjack-style tables, and to reintroduce the game of C at their respective gaming establishments.
