Under the 2011 law, slot operators must stop a gambling machine transaction when a player wins $600. The chair of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, Stephen Crosby, says that it is of critical importance to increase the threshold. It is also believed that this limit would drive gamblers to other gambling facilities in Connecticut and Rhode Island and would cost Massachusetts $6 million in revenue.
