Encore Boston Harbor Casino was home to a cheating scandal this week when a local casino dealer teamed up with two others to cheat the house out of $23,500.
A local casino dealer in Boston this week was accused of joining forces with two other casino dealers from Maryland and Philadelphia in a Baccarat scheme which won the three men $23,500 over two nights.
While the local dealer was dealing cards at Encore Boston Harbor Casino, one of the other men was accused of exposing a number of playing cards, memorizing them, and marking them with a ‘bookmark’ card.
The third culprit was then contacted via cell phone. He was given the order of the playing cards, when both excused themselves to use separate bathrooms.
The casino stunt saw the three men raise $23,500 in winnings under the noses of Encore Boston Harbor’s dealers. This happened over two nights. On Friday, the three men were indicted by a Middlesex County Grand Jury on cheating and conspiracy charges.
Found at 1 Broadway, Everett, this is probably the go-to casino in Massachusetts and among neighboring states.
The Encore brand is owned by Wynn Entertainment, which also owns the WynnBET Online Casino. WynnBET has an online sports betting app in almost 10 states, and an online casino app in New Jersey and Michigan. You can play WynnBET’s online games and cash in your points in-person at Encore Boston Harbor.
But let’s get back to the on-site entertainment at Encore Boston Harbor. The dining options are incredible – from Chinese cuisine at Red 8 to a classy steak experience at Rare Steakhouse. You can even stay overnight in one of the Harbor’s top-class suites.
Then there’s the casino floor itself. An endless variety of table games and slot games, plus an in-house sportsbook for you to relax and enjoy your favorite sports. Not a bad place to spend a vacation or weekend away, that’s for sure.
