Marylanders Waiting to See Final Bids

It is an exciting time in Maryland’s government as people are trying to figure out who the final bids are going to be for their slot machines. Not only do they not know who is bidding on the slot machines, they aren’t even sure if they are going to be able to get bids on all of the sites. It is funny considering the state has tried for so long to get slot machines legalized, and now they are and they don’t know what this means for them long term.

Some have said that there is only one real site that is good for slot machines and that this is the one most people will bet on. However, the state disagrees. They said that they see real possibilities at all of the sites, and think that they will easily bring in millions each year.

Monday is the deadline for submitting those slot machine bids and the state is hoping that they are higher than they think they might be. They say that the amount of money that could come from these bids could be a significant amount and thus could greatly help the state’s economy. They know that times are tough and that people may not be able to offer as much as they would have been able to perhaps a year ago but they are still hoping for more.

They don’t know which sites are going to get slot machine bids and the ones that do may not be what they are hoping for. They also don’t know if the locations will want all of the slot machines that they are allowed. The amount could be as high as 15,000 slot machines at the five locations.
