All Blackjack, Roulette and Poker fans in Maryland have reason to celebrate as the Maryland Live! Casino will officially be launching live table games during the second week of April.
In line with these plans, The Maryland Live! casino received delivery of more than 100 tables which will be used for live gambling, where blackjack, poker and a number of other games will be play at the casino.
The delivery of over 100 gaming tables were made via tractor trailers from Las Vegas and were unloaded amidst careful supervision where it was placed in the designated area on the casino floor. Maryland Live! Casino confirms that it will officially open the tables for live gambling on the 11th of April.
Some of the games that Maryland enthusiasts can expect include Pai Gow, Three-Card Poker, Mississippi Stud, Four-Card Poker, Big Six, Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, Mini-Baccarat, and more. Each of these games will have highly trained live dealers, who were selected from a talent pool of over 800 individuals. All 800 individuals had to go through a highly intensive 3 month dealer school which took place at Marley Station Mall. The Casino had to take out nearly ten percent of its existing slot machines in order to make room for all the new tables; however slot players need not be concerned as there are still over 4000 slot machines at the casino.
