Maryland Considering Table Games 

The state of Maryland thought that their troubles were limited to the slot machines that they can’t seem to get off of the ground. They have run into more snags than humanly possible, and here they are more than a year after slot machines were legalized – with still no slot machines up and running. But now, to make matters worse, the Senate wants to bring in table games.  

The governor has made it very clear that he does not want to talk about table games until the slot machines are up and running, but the Senate seems to think that they could implement them all at the same time. They said that if they can get casinos to go for the slot machines and table games together it would save time and hassle – but the Governor does not see it that way. 

One of the first places they want to bring them in is at the racetrack in Prince George’s County. The Senate has already introduced the bill that would allow for them, and many believe that it will passed within the week. This means that the racetrack could conceivably have table games before the slot machines are up and running. If it passes, the state will have 15,000 slot machines and an untold number of table games for their residents to choose from when gambling. 

Rosecroft Raceway in Fort Washington could be the first to offer the gambling that the rest of the state is simply grasping at at this point.
