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.
