Charles County - Gaming - Video Lottery Operation License and Video Lottery Terminals

SB 725 authorizes an additional video lottery operation license and up to 1,500 video lottery terminals for a facility in Charles County, specifically on a vessel accessible from Colonial Beach, Virginia. It amends Maryland law to increase the statewide license cap from six to seven and requires the change to be approved by a statewide referendum of qualified voters. The bill does not change existing terminal limits for other counties but sets Charles County’s allocation at 1,500 terminals, consistent with current caps for other locations. This procedural bill directly affects Charles County residents and potential operators seeking to establish a new video lottery facility.
