Plainridge Park Casino in Plainville, Massachusetts

Plainville is in Norfolk County in southeastern Massachusetts, approximately 35 miles southwest of Boston via I-95 and approximately 15 miles east of Providence, Rhode Island via I-495. Plainridge Park Casino holds the only Category 2 slots facility license in Massachusetts under the 2011 Massachusetts Gaming Act — the Massachusetts casino regulatory framework created three tiers: Category 1 resort casinos (Encore Boston Harbor, MGM Springfield) and Category 2 slots facilities (Plainridge Park). Category 2 facilities cannot offer live-dealer table games — Electronic Tables substitute for live Blackjack, Craps, and Roulette.

Plainridge Park is the only harness racing track in Massachusetts — standardbred trotters and pacers compete on a seasonal schedule, and simulcasting provides year-round wagering on races from other tracks.
