Second, it's called fair and open competition. I think what Penn did to fight the legislation is beyond comprehension for a number of principled reasons. I'd rather not see them get more of a market share than they already have in MD after that.įirst, I support a decision for National Harbor. Wow, you'd really want to play poker at Rosecroft over National Harbor? That seems much less accessible to me and much less appealing to casual players.Īnd why would anyone care about 'perpetuating the idea that it is a forgone conclusion will only support Penn National's position that the bid and proposal process was not fair and just'? Penn National is the company that sued to stop table games in MD. The selection of the last Maryland casino location is far from over. I have no idea what MGM-National or Greenwood Parx-Ft Washington have proposed perhaps they will be as equally ambitious. This offer is the first of its kind and may be very attractive to Maryland regulators one that is too good to be turned down. The only money they will make is rent back from the casino and management fees. They have offered to give back 100% of profits to the State and give more than $300 million of in kind monies to hospital and education retirement programs. By perpetuating the idea that it is a forgone conclusion will only support Penn National's position that the bid and proposal process was not fair and just.įYI: Penn National has proposed a huge facility at Rosecroft that will include a 40 table poker room. No decisions have been made yet on where the PG County casino will go. Please do not refer to National Harbor as the last of the Maryland casinos. Thought National Harbor in Pg county was the last of the casinos allowed by md law?
