New Maryland Casino To Open Tonight

Maryland's newest casino will open tonight at 10 p.m. The casino is called Maryland Live! It's located just across from the Arundel Mills Mall in Hanover, Maryland. According to the Maryland Lottery website, the casino will be allowed to operate its phase I operation starting tonight. The site doesn't explain what phase I entails. The website stated the new casino will feature 4,750 slot machines (that's a LOT of slots!) and electronic gaming tables when fully open. To me, this implies that the casino might not be fully operational. That would jive with the saying it completed phase I whatever that is. I've seen the casino from the outside and, it looks all right as well as having its own parking.

For me personally, I'm glad it'll create jobs (God knows those are hard enough to come by now a days) but, I don't like it being so close to the mall. When they were talking about building the thing, I got the impression it was going to a good distance from the mall. It isn't. Also, I don't think having another casino will really help things in Maryland though apparently the politicians feel differently. I know I don't plan on ever visiting it myself. Still, to all you gamblers out there, this should be good news. It's another place to lose your money at. Enjoy. Cheers all!

That's the good thing, it creates job. Gambling itself isn't bad when it is but for mere entertainment. But when it has become an addiction, its goodness is so much outweighed by the bad consequences it can trigger.

Thanks Ruth for your comment. As I stated, I have mixed feelings about the casino. It's good that it provides jobs but, it's bad that it's so close to the mall. I agree with you about the addiction. Plus, people can get so caught up in hoping to win the big jackpot so they're life will now be wonderful. I wonder how many of them know the actual odds of that happening. Anyway, thanks again for the post.

Maryland New casino opened from June: O … Wow, awesome news to hear. However, the new online casino websites had challenged the real time casino. The online casinos are also best choice for new casino players.

Thanks for the comment new casino players. I can't say if you're right or wrong. I don't gamble at casinos be they on-line or real time. Maryland state government seems to think that we can't have enough of the real time casinos. I do think there's a point of diminishing returns. Thanks again for the comment.
