“Just like with gaming, this is about doing it right, not doing it fast,” Crosby said. “I would encourage them to weather the storm of criticism for being slow. Everybody crapped on us, but we just lived with it. In the very long run, no one’s going to care whether the businesses open this month or that month, but they’ll care a lot if you don’t get the licensing process and regulatory standards right. Any false step, inadvertent or otherwise, will lead to firestorms, and they have to be strong enough to resist the pressure to go fast for speed’s sake.”

Steve Crosby, Chairman of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC)
