However, this week Foxwoods has announced a new partnership with an even bigger brand, the World Series of Poker.

In a press release Terry Chiaradio the Foxwoods’ Director of Poker Operations, had this to say about the new partnership: “The Foxwoods Poker Room is the premier poker room in North America with continuous play and a professionally trained staff. Foxwoods is an ideal partner for the World Series of Poker.” Chiaradio added, “This strategic alliance with the World Series of Poker (WSOP), the premier global poker tournament brand, will allow us to broaden our exposure while providing exciting opportunities for our loyal players.”

Foxwoods is one of the biggest card-rooms in the world, and is considered near the top of East Coast poker rooms. Located in the middle of the Connecticut wilderness Foxwoods hosts a number of tournaments throughout the year including the Mega Stack Challenge (with the 25th and 26th running of these events scheduled for 2012) and the Foxwoods World Poker Final, one of the most prestigious and longest-running tournament series on the East Coast.

In a 2008 constitutional referendum, Maryland voters approved a video lottery terminal casino facility in Baltimore City, and at four other locations throughout the state.^[4] In July 2012, the Maryland Lottery Commission approved a Caesars Entertainment-led consortium bid to develop and operate a gaming facility in downtown Baltimore.^[4]

Initial designs of the casino were prepared by Baltimore-based architects Ayers Saint Gross. Following the construction approval, revised renderings were prepared by Cleveland-based KA architects, who designed the Horseshoe Casino Cleveland.^[5]

On August 26, 2014, the casino opened with a full night of celebration that included a performances inside and outside of the Casino. Outside entertainment included a live performance from Andy Kushner Entertainment's Rhythm6 band and vertical dance performances by BANDALOOP and pyrotechnics before doors opened to VIPs.

Transportation[edit]

Horseshoe Casino can be accessed by the Baltimore Light Rail at Hamburg Street Station, and by MTA Buses #14, #17, and #27.

Criticism[edit]

Baltimore Brew has been critical of the city's financial support of the casino, including increased police presence^[10] near the casino and planned financial reimbursements, particularly after initial revenue from the casino has proven to be less than anticipated.^[11]

Horseshoe also faces a unique security challenge, because it holds a 24-7 liquor license at its 14forty bar. The only bars in Maryland that can serve alcohol around the clock are in casinos.^[12]
