UNITE HERE Local 26: MA Gaming Commission shows Wynn Resort's Boston Casino with lowest GGR Since February 2021

  • Massachusetts Gaming Commission reported September 2026 Gross Gaming Revenue for Encore Boston Harbor at $46.1 million, the lowest figure since February 2021.
  • Revenue fell 22% compared to September 2025 & 26% compared to August 2026, marking the first data window on the strike that began September 4, 2026, involving 1,350 employees.
  • The Gaming Commission will discuss the strike's financial impact at its regular meeting on October 22, 2026, streaming live at 10am Eastern Time.
  • Google review averages dropped from a pre-strike 4.46 stars in 2026 to 3.87 stars since the strike began, falling below the Ritz Carlton's 4.4 stars & matching the Hampton Inn near Boston's "Methadone Mile."
  • Unaddressed operational issues include reduced revenue from food & beverage outlets like Rare Steakhouse & Red 8, lower sales due to delivery refusals, $200,000 weekly police costs, & guest complaints about hearing strike noises on the 23rd floor.
  • Investors must wait for Wynn's Q3 Earnings Report on November 5 for further details, as neither the commission report nor earnings data will include October 2026 results affected by the ongoing strike.
