Still, even with mobile handling the bulk of sports betting in Maryland, the state is rolling out new retail locations. Another is nearly ready, as the gaming commission found on Thursday that MSF Sports Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Maryland State Fair and Agricultural Society, is qualified for a retail wagering license. The society runs the annual state fair and conducts live horse racing and off-track pari-mutuel betting at the fairgrounds.
The fair’s application will now move to Maryland’s Sports Wagering Application Review Commission for further scrutiny and the possible awarding of the license. After that, the fair and DraftKings will need to satisfy regulators they are ready to open their sportsbook, including by running a controlled demonstration as the Greene Turtle did. However, even with Friday’s opening and Thursday’s progress, Maryland still has a ton of sports-betting licenses available but unused.
At least one Maryland lawmaker has noticed the slack in the sportsbook supply line. Whether or not that translates into additional retail locations remains to be seen.. “There’s very few on the Eastern Shore. For Montgomery County with 1.1 million people, there’s one in all of Montgomery County. There’s dead spots kind of all over the state.”to never miss a story.
