The Maryland Lottery landed on The Innovation Group as the third-party entity to conduct a report related to the potential expansion of gambling in Maryland.

The state legislature requested the report, which must be completed by Nov. 15, after efforts to legalize online casino gaming stalled during the 2023 legislative session. Some stakeholders are hopeful that more information related to online gambling will allow for more thorough discussions surrounding expanded gambling during the 2024 legislative session.

The Innovation Group, a consulting group with decades of gaming expertise, was one of five entities to submit a request for proposal to the Maryland Lottery to conduct the iGaming study.
