Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance. This article does not publish driving mileage, travel time, highway numbers, or exit information. What it does give you is the venue's documented coordinates and the complete set of straight-line measurements that publicly published reference sources support.

Why the keno question is a venue question, not a distance question

The query "does MGM Springfield have keno" asks about a game offering inside a specific building. That is a current-operations fact: it can change when a property revises its floor mix, removes a game, or reconfigures space. No reference source supplied for this article documents keno at MGM Springfield, so this article will not claim the game is present or absent.

What is documented is the venue itself: it opened July 13, 2020, it is owned by Vici Properties and operated by MGM Resorts International, and the casino floor contains 120 table games. A reader who wants a current keno answer should check the property's own gaming-floor page or call guest services before travelling. The rest of this article handles the part of the question that is stable: where the venue is, and how far it sits from other places a traveller might be coming from.

The venue's fixed position in Springfield, Massachusetts

MGM Springfield is situated in the heart of Metro Center, Springfield, Massachusetts, United States. Springfield is in the western part of Massachusetts, near the Connecticut border. The coordinates place the venue in the northeastern United States, roughly west-southwest of Boston and north of Hartford, though Hartford is not among the reference points supplied for this article.

The venue is a hotel and casino complex. The documented casino floor covers 125,000 square feet and includes 2,550 slot machines, 120 table games, a high-limit room, and a poker room with 23 tables. These figures describe a documented point in time and are revised as properties are rebuilt and expanded.

All documented straight-line distances from MGM Springfield

The table below lists every reference point for which a straight-line distance to MGM Springfield appears in publicly published reference sources. Each measurement is great-circle, meaning it follows the curve of the earth between two coordinate pairs and ignores roads, terrain, and water crossings.

Why straight-line distance understates a real trip

A great-circle measurement connects two coordinate pairs through the earth's curvature. A road trip cannot follow that line. Terrain, water bodies, and the actual path of the road network force a longer route.

For MGM Springfield, several factors widen the gap between straight-line and driving distance. The venue sits in the Connecticut River Valley, and crossings of that river and surrounding hills shape regional roads. Trips toward Boston cross the central Massachusetts uplands rather than following the 80.3-mile straight line. Trips toward New York City involve crossing state lines and navigating the Hudson Valley corridor. Trips toward Toronto cross an international border at the Niagara region, which adds border-processing time that no distance figure captures. None of these factors are represented in the table above, and this article does not estimate them.

Reading the venue's position from its coordinates

The latitude 42.09910278 places MGM Springfield in the northern mid-latitudes of the United States, comparable to the band that runs through southern New England and the lower Great Lakes. The longitude -72.58703333 places it west of the prime meridian, in the eastern time zone of North America, though this article does not state a time zone as a documented fact.

Relative to the reference points in the table, the venue sits west-southwest of Boston, north-northeast of Philadelphia, north of Washington DC, east of Buffalo, and southwest of Portland. These directional statements follow directly from the coordinate pairs and the straight-line measurements supplied. They are not road directions.

What to confirm before you go

The stable facts about MGM Springfield are its location, its documented facility figures, and its ownership. The changeable facts are everything else: whether keno is currently offered, which table games are on the floor today, current hours, and any entry or parking conditions. None of those appear in the reference sources for this article, and none are stated here.

For keno specifically, the authoritative current answer lives on the property's own gaming-floor page or with its guest services desk. A reader should confirm before travelling, because a game mix can change between a planning session and an arrival date. The same applies to any question about what is open on a given day.
