They are making so many changes on the floor currently (never a good sign for players) replacing a lot of machines, layout updates. It is almost impossible to have a sustained winning session. They are having record state revenue due to these adjustments and their slot machines have average daily wins (holds) that are higher than any other Vegas or Atlantic City Casino.The Maryland gaming commission, who is responsible for the not only the regulatory side but the operations and control of the slot machines, is really the criminal here. This is lowered from 87% which used to be the requirement. They mandate (a loosely worded) average payback of 84% which is no longer specific to one machine but across the whole floor. Maryland provides no specific information on their payback regulations or on how they regulate. The impact of this is clearly evident in their payback.

Maryland Casinos are taxed at around 67% which is the highest of any state in the country. Very Poor beverage service on the casino floor. Maryland gaming commission is constantly adjusting payout configurations, hold, progressive allocations, floor mix, and par settings, etc. Loopholes in Maryland’s gaming enforcement allow for this, see below for explanation). Progressive holds are also adjusted daily to meet revenue targets. Slots are configured at their lowest RTP settings. This is the tightest casinos I’ve ever been to.Horrible slot gaming experience! Going downhill fast.
