Gambling in Maryland

Primary Law | State Agencies | Commission and Task Force Reports (full text) | Finding Books and Articles

When Governor O'Malley called a Special Session of the General Assembly on October 15, 2007, there was renewed interest in the subject of gambling in Maryland. The Thurgood Marshall Law Library has created this research page to help satisfy the demand for information on this topic. With the exception of links to bills introduced in the special session, the sources covered here are primarily historical. To keep abreast of current news stories, go to the Baltimore Sun web page. There is also a special page for Slot Machines in Maryland on the Baltimore Sun web page.
