Maryland has six privately owned licensed casinos that each offer slot machines and table games.
The MLGCA is headquartered in Suite 330 at 1800 Washington Boulevard, in Montgomery Business Park, Baltimore.
Approximately 60% of sales are returned to players, 30% is used for state-funded programs, 7% is used for commissions to retailers, and 3% is given to the Lottery for operating expenses.

In March 2012, a Maryland player won a one-third share of the then largest jackpot in American history, $656 million.
The Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission (MLGCC) serves as an advisory board to the MLGCA.
The commission is made up of seven members who are appointed to five-year terms by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate.
