After multiple delays, Maryland’s second casino — and the only one at a racetrack — is scheduled to open at 1 p.m. Tuesday at Ocean Downs Racetrack outside Ocean City. Ocean Downs Casino features 750 slot machines, retail and food service, and is expected to generate an estimated 250 new jobs, according to officials. Ocean Downs, a harness racing track in Worcester County, was expected to open its casino in May 2010 before it ran into construction delays. Its opening gives Maryland two of its five designated slots sites up and running more than two years after voters approved gambling in the state. Liz Farmer
