Maryland Lawmakers File Bill to Allow Slot Machines at Baltimore/Washington Airport
A pair of Republican Maryland lawmakers filed a bill Thursday that would open the door for slot machines at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). Dels. Ric Metzgar (R-Essex), and Susan Krebs (R-Sykesville) filed House Bill 733, which would allow more than 3,000 gaming machines to be located at the airport. That’s contingent on certain conditions being met.
For one, an operator would need to submit a license application no later than April 15, 2024. In addition, it would require voters across the state to approve the expanded gaming measure.
