Rotate Black casino for Gulfport, MS approved

Gulfport developers have finally made their planned casino big enough to win Mississippi Gaming Commission approval.  The commission voted 3-0 on August 16th to allow Rotate Black MS to begin construction on a $112 million project, which would include a hotel and overlook Gulfport's small craft harbor.  Rotate Black had been rejected twice previously by commissioners, who told developers that their plans were not big or interesting enough to draw new gamblers to Mississippi.

The project will feature over 100,000 sq. ft. of gaming and entertainment space as well as a 205 room hotel under the Hemingway brand licensed by the family of the late author Ernest Hemingway.  The gaming and entertainment space will boast 1,188 slots, 26 table games, steakhouse, water view bar, extensive exterior decking, center bar, buffet and café. The hotel features four-star amenities including a library, spa services and a waterfront pool with swim-up bar.

The casino will be located on a 9 1/2 acre property directly on the recently renovated Bert Jones Yacht Basin and adjacent to the new waterfront Harbor Square Park with its pavilions, green space and art and entertainment facilities. This is one of the last gaming-eligible sites in Gulfport, MS and will offer unparalleled vehicle and pedestrian access.

Harrah's Baltimore Casino to open in 2014

Caesars Entertainment Corp. will develop a $300 million casino in downtown Baltimore after an investment group headed by the company was awarded a license Tuesday by Maryland gaming authorities.  Caesars said it would build the casino in partnership with Detroit-based Rock Gaming.

The casino, named Harrah's Baltimore, will have 3,750 slot machine-like video lottery terminals and is expected to open in 2014. The casino will include several restaurants and will be just south of the football stadium where the Baltimore Ravens play.  The Maryland Video Lottery Facility Location Commission granted the license and it was the fifth and final gaming license available in the state. 

Maryland lawmakers are scheduled to meet in a special session next week to consider adding a sixth casino in suburban Prince George's County and to allow casinos to add table games.  A casino in Prince George's County would be operated by MGM Resorts. The company plans to place the $700 million facility at National Harbor, a 350-acre complex on the Potomac River in southern Maryland that is a waterfront destination for the Washington area.  The casino would be roughly 10 miles from the nation's capital.
