Workers are calling for wage increases, healthcare and pension benefits and job security protections. The casino will remain operational despite the walkout.

Demand in Boston “has remained healthy, with slot handle running slightly ahead of last year”, Billings said.

Particularly concerning to Kesitilwe is the amount of gambling advertising in sports-related content.
