Horseshoe Casino in Baltimore, Live! Casino & Hotel in Hanover, and MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill are among the 17 entities that were designated in the Maryland sports wagering law.

Next, their applications will be forwarded to the Sports Wagering Application Review Commission which gives final sign-off on licenses.

In August, that same commission voted unanimously that the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission’s qualification standards are sufficient enough to warrant licenses.
