In the weeks after most COVID-19 restrictions came down, the state's casinos reported that staffing shortages were keeping some aspects of the gambling world from returning to pre-pandemic norms.
The casino held a large hiring event last week and offered jobs to 60 people, Loretta Lillios, director of the Gaming Commission's Investigations and Enforcement Bureau, said. Most of the action in recent weeks has been at MGM Springfield, gaming regulators said Thursday. Almost five months since the bulk of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission's pandemic-era restrictions were removed from the state's casinos and slots parlor, things are ramping back up to normal with the impending return of a popular game and continuous hiring efforts.
