“The stakes are too high for anything but full compliance with those safety standards,” she said. The party was an “egregious' violation, commission Chairwoman Cathy Judd-Stein said. The state has a 25-person limit on indoor gatherings. “This is much more serious than a guest being disturbed by noise, and certainly whatever measures they had before were not effective enough,” commissioner Gayle Cameron said during a remote meeting. The commission sent the casino a notice of noncompliance with the state's pandemic standards and the guest who held the party faces a $500 penalty, commission members said. The party in a suite at the Encore Boston Harbor in Everett earlier this month was broken up by police at about 3 a.m., according to the Massachusetts Gaming Commission. A Massachusetts casino that was the site of a party that drew more than 100 guests in violation of state regulations barring large gatherings intended to stymie the spread of the coronavirus has toughened its rules to prevent a repeat, state gambling regulators said Thursday.
