SLOTS ON THE WAY
Baltimore Sun: " Developer David Cordish plans to install 2,000 slot machines on the ground floor of a proposed parking garage while the adjacent Arundel Mills mall casino that would be Maryland's largest is under construction next year. A Cordish representative unveiled the idea Monday, with the garage-based parlor replacing a previous idea to house the first batch of machines in a fabric-sided temporary building. Cordish and state officials want a short-term home for mall slots to prime the flow of tax revenue as the $1 billion casino project — approved by county voters through a referendum last month — gets under way."
