(Maryland).- Baltimore-area casinos are among the Maryland entities that are one step closer to offering mobile sports betting, according to the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission.
Horseshoe Casino and Live! Casino and Hotel are among the businesses that the Maryland Sports Wagering Application and Review Commission found qualified for mobile wagering. Additionally, SWARC approved licenses for sportsbook operators to conduct mobile sports wagering in Maryland.
SWARC is expected to award those licenses at its meeting next month, which means mobile sports betting is likely to be up and running by the end of the year. Under Maryland’s sports wagering law, the MLGCC conducts background investigations to determine whether an entity has demonstrated the honesty, integrity, good character and financial stability to be qualified for a sports wagering license. These following business entities will go before SWARC for mobile license awards:

Arundel Amusements Inc./Bingo World
BetMGM Maryland Sports LLC/ BetMGM
Crown MD Gaming/Draft Kings
CZR Maryland Mobile Opportunity LLC/Caesars

In addition, Long Shot's Hagerstown was found qualified for a Class B sportsbook facility to be located in Hagerstown. Its owners also run Long Shot's in Frederick, an off-track betting venue that was one of the 17 entities designated in the sports wagering law to operate retail sportsbooks. Long Shot's Frederick is completing operational requirements and is preparing to open.
