MGM National Harbor Launches Sports Betting
MGM National Harbor is set to open its BetMGM sportsbook more than six months after sports betting became legal in Maryland. The casino will be the state’s first to accept sports wagers. After a controlled demonstration before regulatory officials, Governor Larry Hogan was joined by Washington Football Legend Joe Theismann to place the state’s first sports bet.
Just last month, The Sports Wagering Application Review Commission approved licenses for MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill and four other casino locations in the state of Maryland.
The commission voted to allow for sports wagering licenses for the casinos to be allowed, opening them up to participate in legal sportsbooks as other states have already been doing so. Last year, Maryland voters overwhelmingly supported sports wagering in the general election ballot.
Prince George’s Suite Magazine made several attempts to reach someone at the MGM National Harbor Press Office. No response was given as of deadline.
