Eye Opener: Gambling work group to get consultant’s report

The work group considering an expansion of gambling in Maryland will receive the results of a study conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers Tuesday morning.

Members of the work group said the study, which is examining the viability of adding a sixth casino and legalizing table games, will go a long way toward helping them decide whether to recommend an expansion.

Also being considered is whether to shift the responsibility of buying slot machines to the casino operators, likely tied in with a decrease in the tax rate on casino revenue.
