I seriously doubt Everett will ever have a problem since it's right in the middle of a metro area containing 4.7 million people, and by law, it will always be the closest casino for Boston area residents in the state. Atlantic City is (was?) a destination city and doesn't have a population of its own to sustain all of the casinos it has, so when casinos were built all over the northeast people had a closer option than Atlantic City. That will never happen with the Everett casino since it's already in the back yard of almost 5 million people. It's apples and oranges.
