Slot Machine Transition April 1, 2015: Maryland Live and Hollywood Casino procure their own slot machines The slot machines at both locations are currently owned or leased by the state. To minimize revenue loss to the state during the transition, MLGCA has repositioned state-owned slot machines and negotiated their sale primarily to Maryland Live and the Hollywood Casino. Proceeds from the sales, estimated to be $7.8 million, will be applied to the final $8.6 million bond payment for the slot machines that is due in September 2015. State law requires MLGCA to continue to provide slot machines to Casino at Ocean Downs and Rocky Gap Casino and Resort. MLGCA has repositioned these casinos from a state-owned to a state-leased model. MLGCA is currently engaged in a Request for Quotes (RFQ) to lease slot machines under the 5-year renewal period of the Master VLT contract for these two casinos.
