Cordish Companies’ Live! Casino & Hotel, in the Baltimore suburb of Hanover, announced plans for the Orchid Gaming & Smoking Patio, Maryland’s first and only outdoor gaming area, featuring both table games and slots. Scheduled to open mid-April, Orchid is also the first in the state to offer ticket-in/ticket-out (TITO) table games, enabling players to move between slots and table games without carrying chips to the main cage.
“Orchid is the latest in the evolution of Live! Casino & Hotel, as we continually strive to create an environment that is engaging and welcoming for our guests,” said Rob Norton, president of Live! Casino & Hotel. “With Orchid, we are offering them visually stunning space to enjoy an extensive collection of cigars and spirits, while seamlessly moving between their favorite table games and slots.”
Orchid will feature 12 live table games, including blackjack, baccarat and roulette, plus 28 electronic table positions, including “Dealer-Assist” blackjack, baccarat, craps and roulette, and bar-top terminals. In addition, more than 150 of the latest slot machines, including video poker, will be available in denominations ranging from pennies to $10.
The gaming zones are interspersed among visually stunning features representing the four elements: earth, air, fire and water. Orchid’s exclusive bar will feature lounge seating and an extensive collection of spirits, including special barrel-aged cocktails. Specially built humidors will house premium cigars curated by Orchid’s cigar specialists.
