Tournaments “Suspended” at MGM Springfield

SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS, USA (Poker Uncensored) – Poker players who enjoyed tournament play in Western Massachusetts are out of luck as MGM Springfield, the only licensed poker room Western Massachusetts, has suspended tournaments. The room continues to offer cash poker games with various high hand promotions daily. 

MGM Springfield says that tournaments are “temporarily suspended” and their November calendar shows no events. A call to the poker room revealed that tournaments are unlikely to return until at least 2024. It is rumored that the poker room had difficulties with finding adequate staff to properly run tournaments, leading to management making the decision to suspend tournament play.
