MGM Resorts International and BetMGM announced today that legalized sports betting is now low live at MGM National Harbor in Maryland. The state’s first bet was placed by Gov. Larry Hogan at the BetMGM Sportsbook & Lounge.

Hogan. “In addition to allowing Marylanders to bet on football, basketball, and more, sports betting will also help to keep more dollars in-state and will provide another critical revenue source for public education without raising taxes on families and small businesses.”

The BetMGM Sportsbook & Lounge is one of several sports wagering locations debuting at MGM National Harbor and offers guests a state-of-the-art gameday experience featuring wraparound jumbotron video walls, multiple sports betting kiosks and mobile food and beverages operations.

Chris Gumiela, Vice President of BetMGM Marketing for MGM Resorts International, said, “As we celebrate MGM National Harbor’s fifth anniversary, the addition of sports betting further strengthens our reputation as the DMV’s premier entertainment destination. We’re proud to provide our guests a one-of-a kind experience, while bringing more jobs and revenue to the state.”
