Last year, the Massachusetts legislature approved a change in state law to allow casinos to serve alcohol to active gamblers past the state’s 2 a.m. “This is still something new and we want to be cautious and thoughtful about how we enact it,” said Stebbins. The conditions attached to the license, as introduced by Commissioner Bruce Stebbins, will require the commission to undertake a review of the alcohol service 90 days after the casino opens and grants the commission’s executive director authority to suspend any portion of the license or order changes in procedures. – two hours later than the time all other bars in the state are required to close. WAMC reports that the Massachusetts Gaming Commission voted 4-1 Thursday to approve, with some conditions attached, an alcoholic beverage license for MGM Springfield that will allow drinks to be served on the casino floor until 4 a.m. The first resort casino in Massachusetts, scheduled to open later this summer in Springfield, will be able to serve alcohol late into the morning.
