MGM Springfield is a commercial resort casino occupying a 14-acre urban campus in downtown Springfield, opened in August 2018 as Massachusetts's western regional gaming license holder. The gaming floor spans approximately 125,000 square feet with around 2,500 slot machines, roughly 150 table games, a poker room, and a sportsbook lounge. The property includes a 250-room hotel, multiple dining outlets, and a live entertainment venue.
Springfield is western Massachusetts’s largest city, a historic industrial hub sitting on the Connecticut River roughly 90 miles west of Boston and 30 miles north of Hartford. The city’s casino landscape centers on a single defining property: MGM Springfield, which opened in August 2018 as the first resort casino to operate under Massachusetts’s 2011 Expanded Gaming Act. For Springfield and the Pioneer Valley region broadly, MGM Springfield represents a multibillion-dollar transformation of a downtown city block that now draws visitors from across New England and the Northeast.
Massachusetts moved relatively late to legalize commercial casino gaming. The 2011 Gaming Act authorized three resort casino licenses — one each for eastern, central/western, and southeastern Massachusetts — plus a single slots-only license. MGM Springfield holds the western Massachusetts resort license. The state also authorizes online casino gaming and sports wagering, making Massachusetts one of the more permissive gaming states on the East Coast. The Gaming Commission exercises strict regulatory oversight across all licensed operators.
MGM Springfield participates in the MGM Rewards program, the loyalty platform shared across all MGM Resorts International properties nationwide. The five-tier structure — Sapphire, Pearl, Gold, Platinum, and Noir — tracks spending across gaming, dining, hotel stays, and entertainment. Points earned at MGM Springfield are fungible with any MGM Rewards destination, which matters to guests who also visit MGM properties in Las Vegas, National Harbor, Detroit, or elsewhere. Free-play credits, dining discounts, hotel rate reductions, and priority access to entertainment events are all standard benefits at appropriate tier levels.
Enrollment is free and can be completed at the MGM Rewards desk inside the casino, through the MGM Resorts mobile app, or online at mgmresorts.com. Cardholders should swipe or tap their card at every slot machine session and table game check-in to ensure full point accumulation.
