Sun Review: Maryland Live! Bustling Following Table Games Addition

In a review in The Baltimore Sun Wednesday, writer Wesley Case recognized what he called the "crowded and energized floor" on a recent Friday night visit to the Maryland Live! Casino.

Table games went live at the casino in April, after voters approved changes to gambling laws on the November ballot. Case wrote that the casino "appeared to be reaping the benefits of democracy."

Case wrote he had wondered when the casino opened in November if the traffic would pickup and the facility would remain sustainable. In his review today, he praised the new music venue—Rams Head Center Stage—and the casino's active atmosphere since the addition of table games.

"You wouldn't mistake the casino, which opened last June and introduced live table games on April 11, for Atlantic City, but Maryland Live! offers an uncommon experience in the area," he wrote. "It's a $500 million operation that looks every bit the part, and it was refreshing to see so many people of all ages and backgrounds filling the floor."

On the downside, he wrote, Center Stage is not yet consistently attracting top-tier talent, and the beer selection lacks in craft brews.
