Maryland Casinos Map

Maryland has six casinos, and three of them rank among the busiest on the East Coast. This Maryland casinos map shows where each sits, from MGM National Harbor on the Potomac near Washington to Rocky Gap out in the western mountains. Most of the action is packed into the corridor between Washington and Baltimore, where MGM, Live!, and Horseshoe draw the bulk of the state’s play, with three more casinos spread to the northeast, the Eastern Shore, and the far west. The minimum age to gamble is 21.

Where Maryland’s casinos are

Maryland’s casinos follow its population, which means they crowd the center of the state and thin out toward the edges. The heart of the map is the corridor running from Washington up to Baltimore, the densest part of the state, where three large casinos sit within about an hour of one another. MGM National Harbor anchors the southern end on the Potomac at National Harbor, a few minutes from Washington. Live! Casino and Hotel sits in the middle at Hanover, beside the Arundel Mills mall off the Baltimore Washington Parkway. Horseshoe Baltimore holds the northern end, on the south side of downtown Baltimore near the stadiums.

The other three are spread to the corners. Hollywood Perryville sits in the northeast on Interstate 95, the first casino travelers reach coming down from Delaware and Pennsylvania. Ocean Downs is the lone Eastern Shore casino, just inland from Ocean City at a harness racing track. And far to the west, where Maryland narrows into the Appalachians near Cumberland, Rocky Gap is a mountain resort casino unlike anything else in the state. The result is a map weighted heavily toward the middle, with a casino at each far edge for the regions the corridor cannot reach.
