Five Maryland casinos are moving closer to a retail sports betting launch.

The Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission (MLGCC) said Thursday that it’s planning “controlled demonstrations,” which essentially represent a soft launch, for the five casinos awarded licenses by the SWARC on Nov. 18:

  • Hollywood Casino (Penn National Gaming/Barstool Sportsbook)
  • Horseshoe Casino (Caesars)
  • Live! Casino (FanDuel)
  • MGM National Harbor (BetMGM)
  • Ocean Downs Casino (TwinSpires)
