The Positive Impact of Gaming in Maryland
  The casino gaming industry supports 350,000 small business jobs nationwide and nearly 3,000 of them are in Maryland, the American Gaming Association (AGA) recently announced at Live! Casino & Hotel during the third stop on the American Gaming Small Business Jobs Tour.

The tour stop was in conjunction with “Live! At 5,” a celebration of the casino’s fifth anniversary and was held during the Minority Outreach Fair which connects small-, minority- and women-owned firms with prime companies interested in doing business with them.

In Maryland, gaming employs 11,000 people, supports $446 million in wages and generates $1.7 billion in economic impact. Since casino gaming opened in Maryland, the state’s casinos have given $1.8 billion to the Maryland Education Trust Fund, which supports pre-K through 12 public education, public school and higher-education construction and capital improvements like community colleges.

Casino & Hotel is committed to supporting local, small businesses across the region.  Creating economic opportunities for minority, women and veteran-owned businesses aligns with our core values to empower, strengthen and invest in our community.”
