ANNAPOLIS – Maryland lawmakers are set to take up a slew of gambling bills Wednesday proposing everything from legalizing table games to trying to make the woeful Allegany County slots site more appealing to a developer.

The bills go before the Maryland General Assembly’s Senate Budget and Taxation committee beginning at 1 p.m. One bill would require a potential slots licensee for Allegany County’s designated slots site to also purchase the Rocky Gap Lodge and Resort. The beleaguered resort is partially owned by the state government and has lost millions of taxpayer dollars over the years.
