EVERETT, MASS. (WHDH) - A water leak in an Encore Boston Harbor poker room prompted an evacuation of the area Friday afternoon.
Cellphone video shows water pouring down from the ceiling and people running away. Poker players said a tournament had just started when the waterfalls began, and gamblers in the packed room quickly fled.
- Doug Williams, the head of table games for Encore Boston Harbor, says table games can be found with minimums as low as $25, a very modest price compared to the second-floor poker room where you.
- Jun 18, 2020 Plainridge Park Casino in Plainville, MGM Springfield and Encore Boston Harbor in Everett have all been closed since March 15 and cannot reopen until June 29 at the earliest.
- Encore Boston Harbor Poker Room With 88 poker tables (including 11 for high stakes and six separate “VIP” tables), the Encore Boston Harbor instantly becomes one of the largest poker rooms in the northeastern United States.
“We sat down for poker and all of a sudden there was chaos, people running,” said poker player Nathan Abbott. “I looked up and water was coming from four or five different spots.”
“All of a sudden, like, it’s raining from the ceiling,” said poker player Nicole Straight. “I was like, ‘I better get my chips because who knows, chips are cash.'”
Straight said the Wynn Casino in Las Vegas will have artistic flourishes inside, and initially she thought this might be a similar event.
“I said wait, this is actually water falling down here, this is not a water feature,” Straight joked.
A spokesperson says the leak was isolated and has since been contained.
