In the East, the gaming destination landscape continues to expand as states up the ante, piling on new action-packed meeting and entertainment options.Maryland’s first two casinos have opened and another is under construction. Four casinos are being built in Ohio, with the state’s first slated to open next March.
A move is under way by New York lawmakers to allow Vegas-style table games such as poker, blackjack and roulette at its racetrack casinos (racinos). All Pennsylvania and Delaware casinos installed table games in the summer of last year following enabling legislation.
This November, Maine’s voters will be asked to approve additional casinos and, after several failed attempts in recent years, Massachusetts could see gaming legalized before year’s end.
