Del. Jason Buckel said Thursday he hopes the owners of Rocky Gap Casino Resort will take up on-site sports betting.
Buckel, a Republican who represents Allegany County and is minority leader in the Maryland House of Delegates, has been involved with gaming issues since going to Annapolis in 2014. He spoke at a Legislative Wrap-Up Luncheon at the Cumberland Country Club hosted by the Allegany County Chamber of Commerce.
Jeremy Irons, a legislative committee member, posed questions at the event to Buckel, Sen. Mike McKay and Del. Jim Hinebaugh. Irons asked Buckel for an update on gaming.
Golden Entertainment announced plans late last year to sell Rocky Gap for $260 million, with the transaction expected “to close in the next month or so,” Buckel said.
