Why does MD government have a monopoly on the gaming industry? Because they control every aspect, they passed slots based on 87% payout. What they did not mention was that 80% goes back to MD. So that explains the low payouts at any MD casino. Time for this monopoly to be broken up. Ma Bell was broken up, and they provided the best service to customers, never to be replicated again, thanks to Uncle Sam. Why should we allow this monopoly to exist? They provide service to no one, just raping customers with little to no chance of winning.
