Chris Gumiela, Vice President of BetMGM Marketing for MGM Resorts International, said “As we celebrate MGM National Harbor’s fifth anniversary, the addition of sports betting further strengthens our reputation as the DMV’s premier entertainment destination. MGM National Harbor is also celebrating its five-year anniversary, having opened to the public on Dec. 'In addition to allowing Marylanders to bet on football, basketball, and more, sports betting will also help to keep more dollars in-state and will provide another critical revenue source for public education without raising taxes on families and small businesses.'
'Today marks the culmination of more than a year of effort to get sports betting up and running here in the State of Maryland,' said Gov. Hogan placed a futures wager on the Washington Football Team to face the Baltimore Ravens in the 2022 Big Game. The casino will be the state’s first to accept sports wagers.Īfter a controlled demonstration before regulatory officials, Governor Larry Hogan was joined by Washington Football Legend Joe Theismann and Prince George’s County Council Chair Calvin Hawkins to place the state’s first sports bet at the new BetMGM Sportsbook & Lounge, at 12:30 p.m.
MGM National Harbor has opened its BetMGM sportsbook on Thursday, more than six months after sports betting became legal in Maryland.
