I live in the MD suburbs of DC and this ballot initiative was the costliest one in Maryland history. The two sides (Penn National and MGM) spent $100 million on the campaign.

Penn National operates a casino in West Virginia, MGM is the operator likely to get the new resort style casino in MD.

I think all this takes effect Jan 1 with a new casino opening in Baltimore that will open with table games, then the other MD casinos can add them. The new casino won't be open until 2016.

One of the casinos is about 20 miles from me, the new one will be 10 miles the other direction.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR POKER!!

Maybe Merson will be the poker celeb at the casino 20 miles north of me, that would be less than 10 miles from where he used to live.

A quick update.

The casino nearest me has already started the hiring process for the new table game jobs. They are providing free training to the people they accept, from what I saw on tv they are saying dealer jobs will pay $45k + tips.

I think there's been about 2000 applicants, so far, for the 700 jobs.

I am assuming the other two open casinos in Maryland are doing the same type of hiring process. The rules will be in place in January, the casino nearest me is planning on having table games running by March 2013.

I was mistaken about the Baltimore casino, they won't open until 2014, then the big MGM resort style hotel/casino will open in 2016.

Maryland Live, in the Arundel Mills shopping mall parking lot.

I think the town is Hanover, it's about halfway between DC and Baltimore just off the Baltimore Washington Parkway (295) and not far off I-95.
