When Live first opened it was pretty good. You didn't go home rich but at least went home most of the time with a little extra and had a good time. If you didn't it was because you played your winnings back. Then I would have giving Live a 4 out of 5. Things seem to change after Maryland decided to bring in table games. I forgot what month it was in 2013 but the news reported that Live made 44 mill in a month. I think it was the same month that they started with tables. That was the most for any casino in the Mid Atlantic. That should tell you something about the payouts. They have promotional contests and best to my knowledge no one has won the big prize of that promotion. Player's club is a joke. I'm the second tier and I get $5 free slot play about once a month, while my wife is the highest tier and she gets only $10 a week. Gaming Atmosphere:Not bad but the music is way too loud. It's a shame cause Live is only 20 minutes from us. We sometimes go to Charles Town which is a hour away because if can believe it, we think that the payouts are a little better and the atmosphere minus the smoke is better. More relaxing. Hopefully when the Horse Shoe Casino opens in Baltimore City, things at Live will change.(Payout wise} but I'm not holding my breath.
