Encore Boston Harbor
Encore's 210,000-square-foot floor includes The Loft, a second-floor mezzanine with over 150 slot games, and you'll find Dragon Link, Lightning Link, Ultimate Fire Link, and Wheel of Fortune Gold Spin Deluxe across the property.
Encore Boston Harbor sits on the Mystic River in Everett, just over the Boston line, on a 33-acre industrial site that had been closed off to the public for more than a century before Wynn Resorts redeveloped it. The casino floor spans 210,000 square feet and carries over 2,700 slot machines property-wide, more than 170 table games, six private high-limit salons, and a 36-table poker room in The Loft. Named games on the floor run from Dragon Link and Lightning Link to Game of Thrones and specific table-game variants like High Card Flush. Here's what's actually on the floor, how it's run, and what the policies are before you go.
Slot Machines
Encore's own featured-games page names four titles as current floor highlights: Dragon Link, Lightning Link, Ultimate Fire Link, and Wheel of Fortune Gold Spin Deluxe -- all link-style or branded progressive games common to newer casino floors, and all games that reward the kind of extended-session play a resort casino is built around. A regional betting-guide review adds two more specific titles, Game of Thrones and Jackpot Carnival, and notes the broader slot inventory -- over 2,700 machines property-wide -- comes from a mix of manufacturers including IGT, Konami, and Aristocrat, three of the largest slot makers in the industry rather than niche or boutique suppliers. That combination of official-named headline titles and a large total machine count suggests a floor where a handful of well-known link games anchor a much larger, more varied inventory spread across the main floor and The Loft. For a property that opened in 2019, the slot mix leans toward titles that were already popular and proven elsewhere -- Dragon Link and Lightning Link both run at other major casinos nationally -- rather than exclusive or Encore-only cabinets, which tracks with how modern casino floors are typically built around licensed, multi-property game families instead of one-off titles.
Table Games
The official table-games page keeps its language general -- craps, blackjack, roulette, and baccarat, with 'many more' left unspecified -- but the casino carries more than 170 tables in total. A detailed casinos.com review of the property fills in some of what that broader count includes: Mini Baccarat, Three Card Poker, High Card Flush, and Mississippi Stud all show up as specific variants on the floor, alongside the standard games the official site names directly. Between the official floor-wide count and the specific variants named in that review, Encore's table-games operation looks built for volume across a fairly standard mix of blackjack, baccarat, and poker-derived games, rather than one built around a large number of exotic or house-branded variants. Mini Baccarat in particular tends to run faster and at lower minimums than full-scale baccarat, which fits a Northeast casino floor drawing a broader mix of players than a dedicated high-roller room, while High Card Flush and Mississippi Stud both represent the newer generation of poker-derived table games that have spread across US casinos over the past decade.
The Loft: Slots and Poker
The Loft, a dedicated area on the casino's second-floor mezzanine, houses over 150 slot games on its own -- a meaningful slice of the property's total slot inventory concentrated in one section. It's also home to the poker room, which carries 36 tables and runs 24 hours a day, spreading No-Limit Hold'em from $1/3 up to $10/25 and Pot-Limit Omaha from $2/2 up to $25/25. That stake range gives Encore one of the wider poker spreads in the Northeast, running from beginner-friendly low-stakes tables up through games serious enough to draw experienced players, all in the same room.
High-Limit Salons
Beyond the main floor, six private high-limit gaming salons sit on the mezzanine, four of them with balcony views looking down over the casino floor. Each salon is staffed with a dedicated butler rather than standard floor service -- a setup built specifically for players wagering above what the main pit typically handles. It's a level of separation from the general floor that few regional casinos offer, closer to what you'd expect from a dedicated high-roller room at a Strip resort than a typical New England property.
Dress Code, Smoking, and Floor Policies
Encore's own policies page prohibits clothing that doesn't conform to its restaurant, nightclub, and spa wet-area dress standards, along with anything deemed offensive or indecent -- a policy that leans casual during the day but tightens up for evening dining and entertainment. Backpacks aren't permitted on the casino floor, and outside food beyond small snacks (along with coolers) is restricted. Smoking and cannabis products are prohibited except in designated areas, consistent with Massachusetts' broader smoke-free casino law -- meaning, unlike some tribal casinos in other states, there's no smoking section on the gaming floor itself.
History: A Reclaimed Mystic River Site
Encore Boston Harbor opened June 23, 2019, developed by Wynn Resorts after the Massachusetts Gaming Commission awarded the company the exclusive casino license for the eastern part of the state back in September 2014. The site itself has a longer story: a 33-acre parcel on the Mystic River that had been off-limits to the public for more than a century due to industrial use dating to the 1800s. Wynn Resorts bought the land for $35 million in January 2015 and spent another $30 million cleaning up the contaminated site before building what became, at $2.6 billion, the largest private single-phase construction project in Massachusetts history. Ownership has shifted since opening -- Realty Income bought the property in a 2022 sale-leaseback deal worth $1.7 billion, with Wynn Resorts continuing to operate it under a lease running roughly $100 million a year.
What to Know Before You Play
If you're headed for the high-limit salons or The Loft's poker room specifically, know that both sit up on the mezzanine level, separate from the main casino floor. The dress code tightens in the evening, so plan accordingly if you're combining a casino visit with dinner or a show. And if you want a quick read on whether a specific machine or table you're standing in front of is worth playing, photographing it and asking 6-lab's Advisor is faster than guessing from the paytable.
