Maryland could benefit from expanding its gambling market with an extra casino in Prince George’s County and table games at the five existing casinos.
That’s the conclusion of a joint study by the Maryland Department of Legilsative Services and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Warran Deshenaux, the General Assembly’s chief budget analyst, said the question is, “What to do with those additional revenues.”
The report found that the changes could bring in around $101 million more in revenue for education and the lottery with no additional compensation to operators.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that lawmakers are considering changes in the state’s unusually high 67 percent tax on gambling revenues.
