Maryland live casino table games

We found 14 non-blackjack table games available at Maryland casinos during a May 2021 trip. The table game list below shows the minimum bet that we found on a weekend afternoon for the games. This should be close to the average that is typically available, although minimum bets may be lower during the week and higher on weekend nights.

We’ve also listed the rules for the games that we found. For example, we list craps odds and the number of zeros on roulette wheels. The field bet pays double on all Maryland craps tables.  

This list does not include blackjack games. We have those games, with all the rules and minimum bets, in our Maryland Blackjack Survey. 

The general rule for minimum bets is the closer or larger the casino is to Baltimore, the more expensive the games are. Games with a $5 minimum at Ocean Downs may have a $25 minimum at MGM National Harbor. Lower-limit players around Baltimore will want to play during the week or drive to a casino away from town. 

All six Maryland casinos deal blackjack, craps, roulette, and Three Card Poker. Other games vary by property. Options include baccarat, big wheel, Casino War, Criss Cross Poker, Four Card Poker, Heads Up Hold’em, High Card Flush, Let it Ride, Mississippi Stud, and pai gow poker.

Additionally, one more bet up to four times the wager amount is needed to continue in the hand.
