MGM Springfield has just 269 card dealers, table games and poker supervisors and managers working as of last month, a headcount that still trails the 444 table games and poker employees it had in March 2020.

That March was just before COVID restrictions shut down the casino and forced deep layoffs.

Those 269 employees are not enough, said Massachusetts Gaming Commissioners Thursday, comparing casino floor operations at the state’s three casinos to both the number of games and workers they promised the state to create and to where they were before COVID hit.

They reviewed a Commission-generated report on how MGM Springfield and the state’s two other casinos – Plainridge Park and Encore Boston Harbor – have recovered from COVID shutdowns that kept casino floors closed from March through July 2020.
