Massachusetts regulators have launched an investigation into improper wagers at two casinos. The bets were made on in-state collegiate basketball games.
It was revealed last week that Encore Boston Harbor self-reported bets on a Boston College women’s basketball game, and Plainridge Park Casino self-reported wagers on a Merrimack College men’s basketball game.
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission announced the inquiry into the improper bets. Officials didn’t identify the amount of money that was wagered.
Massachusetts prohibits betting on in-state colleges unless four or more teams are in a tournament.
Pennsylvania Casino Winner Killed
Carla Pina, a Wilkes-Barre, Pa. resident, was fatally shot on Sunday just hours after she returned from a nearby casino. Pina and some friends were at her Darling Street residence, celebrating her win at the unnamed Pennsylvania gaming property.
She was shot at about 6 a.m. Pina was rushed to the Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.
