Unionized workers at Horseshoe Casino Baltimore will receive long-sought raises after reaching an agreement with Caesars Entertainment on a three-year labor contract.

Workers, who had been bargaining with the casino owner since a contract expired in October, had asked for raises in line with others in the gaming and hospitality industry in the city and elsewhere, saying casino revenues have rebounded since the pandemic while compensation has stalled.

The contract covers about 600 workers at the Russell Street casino near downtown in jobs such as dealers, bartenders, cocktail servers, cooks, slot attendants, cleaners and cashiers.

The new contract, which runs through 2026, offers a pay increase of $1.40 per hour immediately for all non-tipped workers, to be followed by an additional 80 cents per hour in October this year and each of the next two years.
