Springfield files suit against MGM Resorts over casino staffing shortfalls
The city of Springfield, Massachusetts filed suit against MGM Resorts International on Thursday, alleging the company has operated MGM Springfield with roughly half the gaming positions and a third of the employees promised under its host community agreement.
The casino currently runs 1,600 slot and video gaming machines and 50 table games. The host agreement required more than 2,800 machines and at least 75 tables. MGM employs approximately 1,500 people at the property, against a commitment of 3,000, including 2,200 full-time positions.
The dispute has run for two years and intersects with MGM's effort to sell the casino's gaming operations to an undisclosed buyer. MGM sold the underlying real estate separately and is seeking Springfield's approval to transfer the gaming business. The company says the city has used the outstanding contractual issues to stall that approval process, calling the lawsuit "frivolous litigation." The two sides had entered arbitration before the filing.
