The Maryland State Senate has given preliminary approval to expand gambling legislation to include card games like poker at the faltering Rosecroft Raceway.
Under the Senate’s plan, voters statewide would be asked in November to authorize card games at the financially ailing racetrack in Prince George’s County.
The idea has stirred a broad debate about enhancing gambling options in Maryland. The state has been struggling to launch a slot-machine program approved by voters in 2008.
The move to add card games has been called a desperate move to boost Maryland’s faltering economy.
Sen. C. Anthony Muse, the bill’s sponsor, said that hundreds of jobs could be lost by summer at Rosecroft. In fact, live harness racing was suspended two years ago and simulcasts of thoroughbred races were suspended last May because of a contract dispute.
The bill faces even more opposition from the Governor and in the State House of Representatives.
House Speaker Michael E. Busch has argued that he would like to see the state’s slots casinos to open before serious debate begins on table games and Gov. Martin O’Malley apparently feels the same way.
“We ought to focus our efforts on that,” said O’Malley spokesman Shaun Adamec.
