This pretty much put me over the edge with the casino. Wouldn’t you know it, the TOUCH SCREEN DOESN’T WORK!!!! So much so, that not only can I NOT bet, but I can’t ticket out either (guess that’s why it was open). So I find one of two open E-tables ($10) and add $60 to it, ready to play a few hands. It’s obvious that Live! is out for a straight money grab.
But not at Live! To add further insult, they’ve changed their E-table minimums from a ratio of $10 (70%) / $25 (30%) to $10 (30%) / $25 (70%). However, most other casinos, outside of primetime (8pm-2am), I’ve ALWAYS been able to find a $10 table. I’ve been to upper tier casinos (like the Wynn in Vegas) and saw $25/$50/$100 tables 24/7. Con: I was surprised at the tables having $50 minimums at 10am on a Saturday. I am NOT a high roller I just enjoy the atmosphere and spending some hard earned money on crap tables (note the spend, NOT give money away…) Here is my perspective on Maryland Live! Pros: It’s new It’s smoke free Yep that’s it.
I’ve been to many casinos Vegas (about 2 dozen), Atlantic City (about 10), Puerto Rico (1), Bahamas (1), Tunica (about 3), and Philly (1). But I have to make an exception for Maryland Live! (and not in a good way). I almost never do business reviews, as my point of view is already shown by many others.
