Table Games Not a Done Deal at Ocean Downs

If you’re expecting table games to show up at the Ocean Downs Casino after voters approved them in the November election think again.

It’s not a done deal.

General Manager Joe Cavilla issued a statement saying that the casino is evaluating customer demand.

In the words of the statement, “No decision has been made.”

A Maryland Lottery official told attendee at a Baltimore meeting last week that Ocean Downs was not structurally designed for table games.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that the casino is also weighing 24-hour gaming during select time periods.

Ocean Downs currently is open for 18-to-20 hours a day.
