Maryland Live! Casino is a massive destination that offers a wide range of gaming options, dining experiences, and entertainment choices. However, after visiting the casino, I left with mixed feelings.
Gaming Options
The main casino floor features a variety of table games, including Ultimate Texas Hold'em, Mississippi Stud, Criss Cross Poker, Roulette (with a double zero), Baccarat, and Pai Gow Poker. The minimum bets for these games range from $10 to $25. Unfortunately, the video poker options are limited, with terrible pay tables that return only 94.66% for Jacks or Better and 95.00% for Triple Double Bonus.
Player Club
The Live! Casino's player club offers a six-level reward program with various benefits. However, the casino's website does not provide information on how many points are required to earn rewards or what these rewards can be redeemed for. VPfree2 indicates that every $2 bet in video poker earns one point, but it is unclear if points can be used to redeem cash back, free play, or comps.
Despite its massive size and numerous amenities, I left Maryland Live! Casino unimpressed due to the high table game minimums, terrible video poker pay tables, and lack of entertainment options outside of gambling. In contrast, my visit to the Horseshoe in downtown Baltimore was more lively and fun, with better video poker options and lower table game minimums. While Maryland Live! may be a convenient option for those living nearby, it is not worth traveling a long distance for.
Amenities
One positive aspect of Maryland Live! Casino is its free parking and soda machines. Additionally, the main casino floor is non-smoking, which is a welcome relief for many gamers.
Recommendation
Overall, I would recommend exploring other gaming options in the area before visiting Maryland Live! Casino. However, if you do decide to visit, be sure to check out the high limit room, which may offer better video poker games with higher returns.
