Workers put in place 122 tables, which will go into operation on April 11.
The Maryland Live! casino on Wednesday accepted delivery of 122 tables to be used for live gambling next month at the casino. The tables came in on tractor trailers from Las Vegas, and were delicately unloaded and moved to designated areas on the casino floor. On April 11, the tables will be put to use, as Maryland Live! will officially introduce live table games. The table games will include Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, Mini-Baccarat, Pai Gow, Three-Card Poker, Four-Card Poker, Mississippi Stud and Big Six. All of the games will be manned by live dealers, who were trained at a 12-week dealer school held at Marley Station Mall. Casino officials said all of the roughly 800 people who completed the school have been offered jobs. The …

Maryland Live! officials announced Wednesday that the casino will have live table games in place by early spring, and will be hiring more than 800 dealers to shuffle cards and collect the dice. Once the state of Maryland approves the relevant regulations, the new casino plans to move quickly in adding at least 150 live table games, potentially bringing a younger and wealthier crowd. It will also eventually move to 24-hour operations. Overall, Maryland Live! plans to hire as many as 1,200 workers, including dealers and various ancillary positions. The casino plans to open a free "dealer school" to train and identify dealer candidates in conjunction with Anne Arundel Community College. Those who pass through the 12-week program will be …

Operators of the Maryland Live! Casino said they will move quickly to add live table games and expand its hours, now that voters have approved a referendum on expanded gambling in the state. The Cordish Cos. said it will be ready to go once the state issues the necessary regulations to govern table games and 24-hour operations. The company said it will be hiring for as many as 1,000 new positions. "Maryland Live! looks forward to enhancing its gaming offering and is prepared to Go Live! with table games—physical modifications and hiring for over 1,000 new positions—soon after the State issues the necessary governing regulations," the company said in a statement.

Focus shifts to the House on Monday where both bills will be debated and voted on.
Focus on legislation to expand gambling and overturn a controversial Court of Appeals ruling on pit bulls shifts to the House of Delegates. A House Ways and Means subcommittee will meet Saturday to discuss legislation that would open Maryland casinos to table games and could possibly legalize a sixth casino in Prince George's County if voters approve the law in a referendum vote in November. The Senate adopted four amendments to the bill including a $500 annual license fee per table game that would go to a gambling addiction fund and requiring that one member of the gaming commission come from a jurisdiction with a video lottery facility. A number of the 23 amendments rejected by the Senate involved earmarking parts of the money to roll …

It still remains unclear whether there will be a special legislative session on the issue.
It's been a little more than a month since the Maryland Live! casino opened at Arundel Mills, but lawmakers are still talking about the gambling issue. The big question is whether the state will allow for a new casino in Prince George's County (near National Harbor) while also permitting live table games at existing casinos. Gov. Martin O'Malley this week met with Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. (D-Chesapeake Beach) and House Speaker Michael E. Busch (D-Annapolis) about the possibility of a special session, the Washington Post reported. Officials from the Cordish Co., which owns Maryland Live!, have opposed expanded gambling for now, arguing that they would like to see their own facility get established first. "We think table …

The Maryland legislature could hold a special session to tackle the issue.
The Maryland Live! casino near Arundel Mills will open next month with thousands of new slot machines available. But gamblers won't be able to play blackjack, poker and other table games with a live dealer. That could change after Gov. Martin O'Malley said he would likely call a special session—possibly by July—to address gambling issues in the state. Lawmakers could debate the addition of a full casino in Prince George's County, plus the allowance of table games at the other existing five casinos in Maryland. Supporters said table games will allow Maryland to compete with other casinos in neighboring states. Maryland Live! officials said earlier this year that the addition of table games would boost revenue projections for the complex. …
