Here is some nostalgia. Four years ago, we held New England Casino Awards. It was the third try, and Encore wasn’t even finished being built. Maybe I should try the last awards poll for 2022 since things have settled down after the pandemic. In any case, “The votes have been tallied, and the results of our annual survey of NEW ENGLAND’s Casinos are complete! Here are the 2019 New England Casino Awards.”
