The Springfield location opened in August 2018 and, by October, the fair labor division of the attorney general’s office was receiving a variety of complaints.
MGM Springfield is operated by MGM Resorts International, which owns destination resorts in many different parts of the country, including Las Vegas and Atlantic City.
Of the $6.8 million settlement, $461,587 will go to the MGM employees as full restitution and nearly $6.4 million will go to the state as a penalty payment.
