The casino set to open Tuesday is the fifth and last of the five casinos initially planned when lawmakers approved slot machine gambling in a 2007 special session, a plan later approved by voters in a statewide vote in 2008.
The Baltimore casino will be home to 2,500 slot machines and 122 table games like blackjack.
While the state initially planned for five casinos, a sixth one located in Prince George’s County was approved in a 2012 special session, when lawmakers also allowed table games in addition to slot machines. The casino at National Harbor is on track for a 2016 opening. That casino also was approved in a statewide vote.
