What is Maryland Doing? 

Maryland is having a tough time when it comes to slot machines. The state wants slot machines and the people voted for slot machines, they just don’t like where the state is deciding to put them. Each of the locations that the state has tried to put them have not been an easy choice, but Anne Arundel County has really made it impossible for them to move forward with the slot machines in the area. 

The state has five locations to put slot machines in as per voter instructions. However, this is turning out to be a real problem as the slot machines can’t seem to actually get on the ground and start making some money.  

Ocean Downs looks like it is going nowhere fast. The owner bought 800 slot machines and then refused to get any more as he said that the state needed to drop the tax. Cecil County could be a contender, they have purchased the land and are moving forward with their plans for a slot machine casino.  

Baltimore City is having issues with politics and corruption – and who knows when they will be able to get out of their own way. It could be awhile before things get sorted out as there are quite a few problems with the people who are running it and approving how many slot machines they are allowed. Rocky Gap is another one that couldn’t get rid of the mess surrounding it, and it looks like it could be awhile before they see any slot machines there. 

And of course Anne Arundel County that is so conflicted as to where the slot machines could go because residents are just saying no when it comes to their building.
