Hoping to turn around the struggling resort, Maryland's slots location committee awarded a license Thursday for a casino at Rocky Gap Lodge and Golf Resort in Allegany County.
The Video Lottery Facility Location Commission voted unanimously to issue the license to Evitts Resort LLC, the sole remaining applicant after the panel eliminated a group led by former Democratic Party Chairman Nathan Landow in January. The license is contingent on Evitts getting construction financing, but company officials do not expect that to be a problem.
The commission's action came the same day the Cordish Cos. announced that the Maryland Live! Casino at Arundel Mills will open to the public at 10 p.m. June 6, bringing the number of operating slots facilities in the state to three.
