  6. A bad bet for Maryland

    The Department of Legislative Services is out with its analysis of Gov. Martin O'Malley's proposal to expand and overhaul Maryland's gambling program, with the key element, politically anyway, the addition of a sixth casino in Prince George's County. Based on what DLS found, it is now quite clear why Prince George's County Executive Rushern Baker is in favor of this effort. It's obvious why the developer of National Harbor, the preferred site for a new casino, wants it, and why MGM is lined up to operate that facility if it opens. It's a great deal for them.

Members of the public are scratching their heads over this one, putting it in the category of one more lapse in good judgment from a political system that has a very low threshold for the absurd. But for those of you who would like to make sense of Maryland politics, here are the six essential things you need to know about gambling and the special session:

  8. The false promise of a gambling expansion

    Backers of a new casino inPrince George's Countyhave been emboldened by a report from the Department of Legislative Services that estimates such a facility and the addition of table games statewide could add as much as $161 million a year to the state's coffers. The analysts, who worked with PriceWaterhouseCoopers to develop their report, flatly conclude that Maryland's market is large enough to accommodate six casinos and that any loss in revenues at the existing Maryland Live slots parlor and the one yet to be constructed in Baltimore would be offset by new revenues from blackjack, roulette and the like.
