No casino city in Baltimore

The slots commission rejected the bid to build a casino city in Baltimore but the developers do not give up appealing to the court.

After the bid to build a casino in Baltimore had failed, architects, public relations firm and other companies brought down the lawsuit against the Canadian builder for $771,000.

Now eights enterprises demand that Maryland Lottery froze the deposit in amount to $3 million placed by would-be casino developer, Baltimore City Entertainment Group.

At this very time the casino group takes new lawyer into service in order to have another bash to appeal the decision of the state slots commission to reject its bid. Hearing is planned to take place on March 12.

The slots commission didn't pass the bid of Michael Moldenhauer as early as in December. The reason was the rejection to bring in $19.5 million in additional license fees for 3,750 slots planned to be located at the casino. Another reason for the rejection to pass the bid was the lack of transparency about the person in charge of the casino and the delays in payments.

Mayor Stephanie C. Rawlings-Blake is an adherer of the casino city as she claims that this undertaking will compensate the loss the city will encounter because of the reductions of the city's high property tax rate.
