The average casino pays 87 to 93% of what they take in on slots. According to MD Lottery, MD Live pays a wooping 7%. This place is a joke, not only for poor payouts, but there rewards card is promoting this month, 2000 points, and you recieve a pie. Who in their right mind pays $2000 for a pie. Last month they falsely advertised giving away 21 cars, when you actually won a 1 year lease, taxes not included. Guess they feel they are the new guy in town, but WV still pays 89% of what they take in, and they are still taking in double what MD does. Way to go MOB (Miller, O'malley, and Busch), you sure showed that GREED does not pay! What next? Raise taxes?

Stay away from this casino. The tables have changed over the past 1.5 years ever since MGM got the green light. It's too obvious that Live is trying to build its coffers in order to prepare for the MGM onslaught. Most of the Asians live in VA and overall I'd expect this casino to lose 50% of its patrons. Staff will eventually be laid off. A couple years ago I could take $250 and either play for hours at a $25 table or leave with $800. I always got up but would stay too long and end up losing. Regardless...I was up.
Fast forward to 2015. $250
Won't even last for 30 minutes unless you get lucky and won the in bet. If you want to win a couple hundred dollars you have to walk in with $2000 of your own money and pray. Tables are stupid rigged to the point even your 20 hand loses or pushes 80% of the time. Thie dealers aren't dealers but magicians. Their favorite trick is o turn 5's and 6's into 21's or just enough to beat your 18' and 19's. Dealers very rarely bust out I've been counting times dealers bust in each deck and it's common magical practice for the dealer to only bust 2-3 times on a 8 deck shoe.
Something's off with both live and horse but now after reading the reviews, it's seems to be a consensus that all MD casinos are rigged big big big time. Dealer pulls a face card like magic each time and if not a face card it the highest card on the table. For example each player will get a 2-7 as the 1st card and the dealer consistently gets a Face, Ace, or maybe a 2. When they eventually get a 5 or 6 just pray you don't have a 10 11,, or two Aces and have to double down. Why do I say that? Because that 5 or 6 consistently gets turned into a 20 or 21. They suckers you to double down so you do and you get a 3-6. The dealer turns over his bottom card and revels another 4-6 and like magic walla!!! 20-21. Each time I go this happens quite a lot. F that!! It happens so much it's pretty obvious that that even with cutting the cards once it gets on track they've pretty much know what your moves will be based off of genus owe they've hired to stack the cards. Only way you will win here is playing with people who play unorthodox. Remember they want you to stay on 12-16 if the dealer is showing a 3-6. Sart hitting your 12-14's and throw that bitch off. You might lose that hand but it throws off the dealers rigged shoe and the table will have better outcomes. If there's 3-5 players it's a guarantee that 2 will lose horribly almost each hand. Normally 1 spot is hitting everything and the 4 th person is going back and forth. If you are the 2 who are losing horribly move. Move to the other side of the casino. By the time that spot starts winning again you will be home and in bed crying. If you are in the slot winning you better stacking up and jump on that. Don't be scared. If you are the slot going back and forth don't move. In fact it's because of you that's the winning spot is winning. Play the minimum on your spot and bet big on the winning spot.
Teamwork? True. Remember someone needs to take those unorthodox hits. It's usually me and I've noticed that if I bust out the everyone else usually wins. Recently though I've noticed that when I hit or should've hit my 12-14's the next card usually gives or would've given me a 21 or 20.
Live rarely bust out when the table sits on their 12-16's so you're better off hitting.
If you want more 'How to win at Live tips' then you need to read this again. I strongly recommend that you stop going to all MD casinos. Better yet stop gambling. I've blown through $200000 easily over the past 2 years. Even though I make $120,000/year I'm homeless and have lost everyone in my life.
Stop gambling.

I was so thrilled to have Maryland Live come, but now it realize it is a waste of time, I save my money to go to Atlantic City now, there I stand a chance of winning.  I was at live and spent $200.00 in one day which to them was probably nothing, I was on a machine for 1.5 hours and never went to a bonus, I even took my card a out a few times to see if it made a difference then I realized that those machine are that set to allow you to go to bonuses.  I play those same machines else where and I know that after a hour I should have went to a bonus, even if I did not win much money.  I am waiting for MGM to open, I think they will be fair, the MGM casinos that I have been to  won very well.

Maryland Live recently got real table games. The minimums are ridiculously high. Seriously, a craps table with a $100 minimum. Out on the regular floor, the lowest minimum I saw was $25. I had to laugh when I saw the high limit room. I thought the high limits were out with the regular tables.

They have a bizarre combination of slots. The casino is laid out poorly. The parking garage is a nightmare. And they need better training in the food service department.

Definitely avoid this place.

I loved going to Live, but once Cornish Group started the new hotel, every thing changed....slots for some reason had to have been reset because you had previously been able to play for a while until you lost your money, now you can't even play it takes your money....very quickly. I have watched the people that have been able to hit a few machines and most play the max, that most of us can't afford, they do not play with a players card, it seems the player card has your money disappear faster then without. The staff is not as friendly and the garage security is a joke....left there the other evening, security in a cart looking at his phone not aware of any patrons leaving elevator garage, I sat in my car and watched him for 7 minutes and he never looked around site or cars... the Cornish Group has lost all my respect for the "robbery" of the clients....most go knowing that they will lose, but sure would like to have a few hours of enjoyment. The overhead announcement of " another jackpot has just been won" has gone down about 75%....since fall of 2017....going to try new casino!!!!
