PRESS RELEASE
December 09, 2010
As of January 4, 2011, the games are on at The Casino at Ocean Downs! That
Tuesday, Governor Martin O'Malley and several state and local dignitaries will
participate in a "ribbon-cutting ceremony" to help inaugurate the $45 million
gaming facility in the heart of Maryland's beach resort community.
"We were impressed with the plans for the site and are confident that this
world-class entertainment facility will be a tremendous asset to the Eastern
Shore and the entire state of Maryland."
The casino features more than 700 video lottery terminals (slot machines),
nearly 34,000 square feet of gaming space and new food and beverage offerings.
"The Location Commission is thrilled with the announced opening of the slots
facility at Ocean Downs," said Donald C. Fry, chairman of the Maryland Video
Lottery Facility Location Commission. "We were impressed with the plans for the
site and are confident that this world-class entertainment facility will be a
tremendous asset to the Eastern Shore and the entire state of Maryland."
Providing an exceptional customer experience will be a top priority for the
Casino at Ocean Downs. More than 200 new employees, most who live in the areas
around the Casino at Ocean Downs, have been hired and trained in anticipation of
the opening day.
"Our team is energized and ready to provide our guests with a fun and memorable
gaming experience," said Joe Cavilla, general manager of the Casino at Ocean
Downs.
The casino's Maryland Lottery Controlled Demonstration will be held on December
29. Nearly 1,000 American Legion members have been invited to the private event
to test the slots and try out the customer service skills of the casino staff.
"The January 4 opening is a testament to the dedication of our construction team
and staff working to bring this gaming experience to the people of Maryland,"
Cavilla said. "We ran into some challenging construction delays—some bad
weather, for example—that threatened to push back our opening. Thanks to the
nearly non-stop work of our staff, we are able to open very close to our target
date, and— most import—we have not compromised on quality to do so. Our guests
will see that from the moment they hit the casino floor."
