My wife and I were very excited about the new Encore Boston, because it is about 15 minutes from our home on the north shore of Boston. We look at gambling as entertainment and play regularly. We've actually been comp'd rooms at Wynn Las Vegas twice in the last six months or so, as recently as our stay in early May, 2019. We are long time diamond status with Caesars-Harrahs and go to Vegas four times a year for over 15+ years now, along with multiple trips to New Orleans, Atlantic City, and locally - Foxwoods, MGM Springfield and Twin Rivers quite a few times each year. They are trying to create a luxury experience, not some cheap 7-11 corner slot place, if you want cheapness go somewhere else.My wife and I are in our late fifties and enjoy gambling. Very clean inside and every thing looks highly professional/impeccable. This is the kind of trash that need to drive to foxwood/mohegan and play their 50 cent bets. I even saw a guy 'sneakily' light a cigarette on the floor when he knew smoking on the floor is forbidden (another reason i love this place, no smoking!).

Other negative comments include morons that do not know how to wear a mask or refuse to wear a mask and then complain about being treated like a child (if you don't want to be treated like a child don't act like a child). If you want regular BlackJack payout you have to play on the second floor for minimum $100/bet. The payouts in the tables and slots are lower. A lot of the negative comments here are truly from low income trash people who want to play $1 BlackJack and win $100 jackpots. That being said their payout are lower to accomodate for the extra luxury (think Casinos in Vegas Strip). Great and friendly staff! Please understand that this casino offers a more high-class experience, if you want to play with the riff-raff go to foxwoods or mohegan.
