Washington, D.C.-based advocacy group Stop Predatory Gambling told the Capital News Service that Maryland residents lost $3 billion in personal wealth to state government commercialized gambling in fiscal year 2022, and since casinos opened in Maryland citizens lost $23 billion in 2010, the group said.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;<span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman,serif\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">(The American Psychiatric Association) now defines gambling addiction on the same level as heroin, opioids and cocaine. We don&rsquo;t market these products like state government gambling markets do,&rdquo; said Les Bernal, national director of Stop Predatory Gambling. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;<span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman,serif\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:x-large\">Online gambling is like fentanyl gambling, it&rsquo;s like the most extreme form of all. It opens up the casino right in your bedroom so you can sit there in your pajamas and lose it all.&rdquo;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman,serif\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">The bill is still in its infancy, and members of the budget and tax committees agree that the proposal still needs to be worked through.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman,serif\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">There are other gambling issues headed to lawmakers this year, but they&rsquo;re mostly changes to existing legislation, including bills to adjust the number of machines bingo parlors can operate and a proposed senior centers in St. Mary&rsquo;s County the opportunity to host games.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman,serif\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">The latter bill, HB 263, sponsored by Del. Matt Morgan, a Republican from St. Mary&rsquo;s County, allows senior activity centers in St. Mary&rsquo;s County to conduct small-stakes games, such as poker or pitch, where participants can bet small sums of money. This legislation limits entry fees to $25 and a maximum of $50 per session while specifying that leftover prize money is to be used to fund future senior center programs and general gaming in the county.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman,serif\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">Morgan also acknowledged that the recent expansion of gambling in the state means lawmakers must be vigilant but patient when it comes to the nuances of implementation.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;<span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman,serif\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">We came to play a little late, comparable to our neighboring states. Slots and table games came a few years later, and now we have sportsbook,&rdquo; Morgan said. &ldquo;We have made many changes in a short period of time. Sports betting has only recently come into the market, so you need to see how these things develop before you start making any changes.&rdquo;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new chapter opens in Maryland where the legalization of gambling is proposed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4941,"menu_order":352,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[2127],"class_list":["post-4940","america","type-america","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","tag-a-new-chapter-opens-in-maryland-where-the-legalization-of-gambling-is-proposed","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 -
