Is Massachusetts about to legalize online casinos on your smartphone?
So who's putting this on the fast track? It's unclear who, but it will need get through House and Senate leadership. A spokesperson for Advertisement For those already in the gambling business, the stakes are high, and the politics of it all have made for strange bedfellows. On one side is homegrown sports betting behemoth DraftKings and arch rival FanDuel, which support the bills and stand to benefit by providing the digital platforms that power these games. Joining their camp: MGM Resorts International, which operates a casino in Springfield and online gaming platform BetMGM. Advertisement A DraftKings employee in the lobby of their Back Bay offices. Lane Turner/Globe Staff On the other side is Encore Boston Harbor, the Everett casino operated by Wynn Resorts, and UNITE HERE Local 26, the politically influential hospitality union with many members who work at Encore; they oppose the bills, saying online gaming would cannibalize the brick-and-mortar casino business and reduce jobs in the industry. And then there are those who are wary for fear it will create more problem gamblers by making it even easier to bet on your phone. Supporters and opponents of online casinos squared off during a DraftKings and FanDuel argued that online casinos should be legalized because there's already a robust illegal market, so why not regulate and tax it? According to the mostly on websites based outside the United States. It's the same argument that's been made to legalize sports betting in many states, including Massachusetts, ever since the Supreme Court struck down a federal ban in 2018. Since sports betting began in Massachusetts in early 2023, it has flourished here with billions of dollars wagered, generating more than $300 million in taxes and assessments, according to the Advertisement Type 'online casino in Massachusetts,' and you quickly realize how we're all one Google search away from trying our luck. Seven states, including Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Jersey, have legalized internet casino gaming, and proponents estimate that if Massachusetts levied a 20 percent tax, the state could generate $230 million to $275 million a year in new revenue. (That's the same tax rate as online-only sports betting, while land-based resort casinos are assessed at 25 percent.) And with state lawmakers facing tough budget decisions this year, David Prestwood, a government affairs manager at DraftKings, knew exactly what to tell the Joint Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure. 'This money may be especially critical for Massachusetts in the face of anticipated federal funding cuts and reductions in state and local aid,' he said at last month's hearing. Online casinos may seem no different than sports betting, but their appeal runs broader and deeper than placing a bet on a baseball game. And internet gambling is far different than going to a brick-and-mortar casino, which requires getting there and interacting with staff. Online, you can gamble in your pajamas. 'There's all these friction points where the player has the chance to think twice with about placing the next bet,' said Mark Stewart, a board member of the Advertisement Stewart, who is general counsel of The Cordish Companies, a Baltimore real estate and casino developer, testified virtually at the hearing, while Encore Boston Harbor president Jenny Holaday provided written testimony opposing online gaming and warned how it could result in a 'dramatic reduction in the associated taxes that Encore pays to the Commonwealth,' a sum that has totaled nearly $1 billion since the casino opened in 2019. The owner of Encore Casino in Everett is pushing to stop a bill on Beacon Hill that would broadly legalize online gambling on slots and poker games. John Tlumacki/Globe Staff Encore employs about 3,300 workers, about a third of whom are part of Local 26. A union representative also testified against the bills, citing an independent research analysis funded by the (A It's shaping up as a test of who has more clout on Beacon Hill — Encore and its coalition of boots-on-the-ground supporters in the unions and Everett, or tech companies that have deep pockets. Brick-and-mortar casinos could get in on the game, too. The legislation sets aside licenses for the state's existing casino operators, along with four licenses for internet gaming platforms. Along with slots, they'd allow poker, blackjack, craps, and even games with a live dealer. But what about the I can't imagine state Treasurer and Lottery chair, Deb Goldberg, being happy about online casinos, which could eat into lottery profits. The lottery in fiscal 2024 netted nearly Advertisement 'If online gaming expands, we must ensure the Lottery is supported and stays competitive,' Goldberg said in a statement. 'Every dollar spent on private platforms could mean less for our cities and towns and early childhood education.' Then there are concerns about addiction, with calls to the surging since sports betting was legalized. Lia Nower, director of the Center for Gambling Studies at Rutgers University said what drives up the risk of problem gambling is giving people more options. 'There's a cumulative effect,' she said. 'The more things that you gamble on, the more often you gamble and the more venues in which you gamble, the higher your risk.' In this digital era, online casinos may feel inevitable, yet internet gambling is so new we don't really know how addictive it could be, especially among young bettors. Remember how we initially thought social media was just fun and games? Critics of online gaming say it reduces barriers to problem gambling, compared with going to a brick-and-mortar casino. Steve Helber/Associated Press Yet the pressure will be intense from a gaming industry that's keen to keep expanding online. Boston-based Why? Just follow the money, explains Nower. 'It's the cash cow for the industry,' she said. State Senator Paul Feeney — who is sponsoring the online casino legislation with state Representative Daniel Cahill — said lawmakers are well aware the need to carefully weigh all the costs and benefits, in particular the investments made by land-based casinos which he described as 'sacrosanct.' Advertisement Yet there's also an urgency with the state facing budget pressures. 'I wouldn't say that anything is on a fast track,' said Feeney. 'There's a renewed interest in looking at how we can maximize tax revenue without broad-based tax increases on residents.' We tend to give the Legislature a hard time for moving too slowly, but this time we shouldn't. At the very least, the state should conduct its own independent analysis, rather than relying on industry-funded studies to weigh the impact on existing land-based casinos and the lottery, and whether it would create a new class of problem gamblers. Online gaming is too big of a gamble to not get this right. Shirley Leung is a Business columnist. She can be reached at

Google Slashes Pixel 9, Pixel 8 Pro Price Ahead Of Pixel 10 Launch
A Google Pixel 8 pro phone is displayed during a product launch event for the Google Pixel 8, and ... More Pixel 8 pro phones, Pixel Watch 2, and Pixel Buds Pro earbuds, in New York on October 4, 2023. (Photo by Ed JONES / AFP) (Photo by ED JONES/AFP via Getty Images) Similar to the company's Pixel 9 discount before the Galaxy Z Fold 7 debuted, Google's latest Pixel 8 Pro discount is its best yet, and lands weeks before the official Pixel 10 announcement. This story was updated on July 22nd with new Pixel 9 discounts and details about Google's Pixel 10 offer. Google has slashed the cost of the Pixel 8 Pro by $400, bringing the price down to $599. That figure is a bit of marketing because the Pixel 8 Pro hasn't been $999 for a very long time, and the company runs consecutive deals, so it's rare to pay full price for a Pixel phone. Nonetheless, $599 is a very good price for the 2023 Google flagship. The phone also comes with a Pixel Watch 2 and a free case. Alongside the 10% store credit for Google One members. The downside is the poor trade-in pricing. Historically, Google has always been behind Apple and Samsung in valuing your used phone. That changed with a recent Google U.K. deal that raised trade-in prices to heights I haven't seen before for old handsets, some of which are essentially defunct (including the embattled Pixel 6a). Here is a selection of Google U.K.'s trade-in prices three weeks ago. In comparison, the company is now paying far less for the same phones. For example, Google values the Pixel 7 Pro at $145, the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max at $355, and the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra at $224. Those Samsung and Apple handsets will likely net more on the secondary market. The Google Pixel 8 Pro Is Still Worth Considering A Google Pixel 8 Pro phone is displayed during a Google product launch event in New York on October ... More 4, 2023. (Photo by Ed JONES / AFP) (Photo by ED JONES/AFP via Getty Images) Even without a hefty trade-in discount, this is a solid deal for a phone that isn't wildly different to its successor, the Pixel 9. AI tools like Magic Editor, Best Take, and Video Boost have made it over to last year's Google phone. Formerly exclusive Pixel 9 features, such as the Pixel Weather app, have now migrated over to the Pixel 8. Only the updated hardware separates the two phones. The Pixel 8 will likely disappear from the Google store after the Pixel 10 lands in August. This may be one of the last chances to buy the phone directly from Google, if that matters to you. Another distinct possibility is that Pixel 8 Pro prices crash (at other retailers) after it disappears from the Google Store and the Pixel 10 lands because of its age. Being two generations old used to matter pre-2024, but with five years of software updates and security patches left, the risk is reduced. Update July 22nd: Google has more discounts for Pixel buyers ahead of the now-confirmed Pixel 10 launch. The company has slashed the price of the entire Pixel 9 series in the U.K. before their successor lands next month. U.S.-based Pixel buyers aren't so lucky. The Google store only has the Pixel 8 Pro, mentioned in the story above, on offer. That will change soon after the Pixel 10 launches, though. The U.K. discounts average out at 33%, which gives us a glimpse into the price drops American shoppers can expect for the Pixel 9 in the coming weeks. That price will slide further as the Pixel 10 takes centre stage. Interestingly, Google is also teasing new offers for the Pixel 10. If you sign up for Google's marketing emails by September 4th, the company will send out a promotional code. There's no detail on how much the code will discount the Pixel 10 by, or if it triggers a freebie, but it's worth signing-up for if you plan to buy Google's 2025 flagship.
