Pawn Shop Near Encore Boston Harbor
Casino gaming is legal in Massachusetts, and Encore Boston Harbor in Everett is the biggest room in the state. If you are heading to the tables and want cash in your pocket first, skip the casino ATM line and the credit-card cash advance. Bring something of value to LBC Pawn — a Rolex, gold jewelry, a diamond piece — and walk out with a pawn loan at 3% per month*. We are a short drive from the casino, at 1107 Commonwealth Avenue in Boston.

The cheapest cash near the casino
Getting cash at a casino is expensive by design. Casino ATMs charge premium withdrawal fees on top of whatever your own bank charges. A marker or a casino credit line means paperwork and a balance hanging over you. A credit-card cash advance typically runs around 29% APR plus an upfront fee of about 5%, with interest starting from the first dollar.
A pawn loan works differently: it is secured by something you already own, so the cost stays low and fixed. At LBC Pawn you borrow at 3% per month interest plus a one-time 8% charge in the first month only — and the full cost is printed on your ticket before you sign.
| If you borrow | After month 1 | After month 2 | After month 3 | After month 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $100 | $111 | $114 | $117 | $120 |
That first month includes the one-time 8% charge; after that it is a flat 3% per month. The same math scales — $1,000 costs $1,110 after month one. No hidden fees; the full cost is printed on your ticket.
*Pawn loans: 3% per month interest plus a one-time 8% charge in the first month only. Example: a $100 loan costs $111 after month 1, $114 after month 2, $117 after month 3 and $120 after month 4. Loans run up to 4 months and may be renewed by paying the interest due. Borrowers must be 18 or older with valid photo ID. Items not redeemed by the end of the loan term may be sold as allowed by Massachusetts law.
Bring the Rolex. Bring the gold.
The items that secure the biggest loans are the ones already on your wrist and in your drawer: Rolex, Omega, Cartier and other fine watches; gold chains, bracelets and rings — broken gold is welcome, we loan on weight and purity; diamond jewelry; gold and silver coins; designer bags; and good cameras. Loans over $2,000 are handled in our private VIP room — no counter, no crowd, bank-level privacy.
Rather not borrow at all? Sell it to us outright and walk out with cash and nothing to repay. Either way, text a photo first and know your number before you come.
Getting here from Encore
LBC Pawn is at 1107 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA 02215 — about a 20-minute drive from Encore Boston Harbor in normal traffic (traffic varies). We are on the Green Line B branch at Packard's Corner. One honest note: our hours are Mon–Fri 11:00 AM–6:30 PM and Sat 11:00 AM–4:30 PM, closed Sunday — so make us your stop on the way to the casino, not on the way home.
One straight word before you play
Gambling money should be entertainment money — cash you have set aside for a night out, the same as dinner and a show. A pawn loan is a cheap, clean way to put that cash together against something you own. But if you are chasing losses, or thinking of borrowing to cover money you already lost, no loan is the right answer — not ours, not anybody's. Massachusetts runs a free, confidential Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-327-5050.
