According to the article, it applies to all gambling winnings in excess of $600, including slots and table games, so the belief is that it's intended to limit the expansion of gambling in the state. So, if it reduces wagering, the people who pushed for the tax will see that as a feature, not a bug.
Ah, Massachusetts. It tries so hard, but somehow never quite seems to escape its Puritan roots.

This is Massachusetts people....look for the legislator with a hand in the software vendor's pocket (gotta track that tax liability somehow)...and a niece in the tax office that chases the tax (every family needs a state pension for the kids)...it'll be solved when his brother in law gets guaranteed a $100K security job (full free health benefits) at Caesar's Eastie Casino, Slot Parlor and Maybe Racetrack.
