Unlike the other five casinos that opened in Maryland following a voter referendum, Ocean Downs Casino has existed for over 70 years. First opened as Ocean Downs Racetrack in 1949, the racetrack was a popular venue for many decades before falling out of favor. Now the property of Churchill Downs, the racetrack additionally offers a substantial casino with slots and tables games. There is also a racebook (of course), as well as the new TwinSpires Sportsbook. Here is an overview of everything you can find and enjoy when visiting Ocean Downs Casino. Address: 10218 Racetrack Rd., Berlin, MD 21811 Ocean Downs, Churchill Downs and TwinSpires SportsbookOcean Downs Casino’s new TwinSpires Sportsbook began accepting sports wagers in Dec. 2021. Since then Maryland has been looking ahead to the debut of online sports betting, with Ocean Downs among the many sports betting providers soon to launch online sportsbooks in the state. Ocean Downs qualified for a Class A-2 sportsbook license. For $1 million upfront and a $300,000 renewal fee every five years, Ocean Downs is permitted to offer both retail and online sports betting. Thus you can expect Churchill Downs to introduce a TwinSpires Maryland online sportsbook as soon as it becomes possible to do so. Previously Churchill Downs tried to launch in other states the brand BetAmerica as both an online casino and sportsbook app. However, after the brand struggled to gain market share and got some bad PR as a result of a lengthy service outage, Churchill Downs elected to pivot. Since then, the company has rebranded its online sportsbooks in states like Indiana and Colorado to the TwinSpires brand. Horse betting fans in Maryland are likely already familiar with the TwinSpires name. It has long been the brand of the Churchill Downs horse betting app. While the TwinSpires sportsbook is a separate app from the racing app, Churchill Downs has been working to promote both in states where the apps are available.

History of Ocean DownsIf there is anything Ocean Downs has that other Maryland casinos don’t, it is a rich history. Long before Maryland legalized casinos, Ocean Downs was drawing in people with its horse racing. The track first opened in 1949 as a harness racing track. There were calls to switch to thoroughbred racing, but the track never followed through on the switch. This is just one of several decisions that, over the decades, resulted in the Maryland Racing Commission growing concerned about approving race dates. Accordingly, a different operator, Rosecroft Raceway, bought the track in 1986 and renamed it Delmarva Downs. Just a year later though, Rosecroft sold the track to Mark Vogel. Vogel didn’t fare much better, as the track filed for bankruptcy in 1991. At that point, Californian businessman Frederick Weisman bought the facility. He passed away in 1994, and the track once again went up for sale. Bally’s decided to take a shot with the track and purchased it along with the Cloverleaf Standardbred Owners Association (CSOA). Bally’s held out hope the property would eventually be able to add slot machines and bought out COSA in 1996. At that point, the name of the track reverted back to Ocean Downs. By 2000, Bally’s lost patience and sold the track to Delaware Park owner William Rickman. The Maryland Jockey Club attempted to foil the sale, fearful Rickman would develop a monopoly in the region. Rickman prevailed though and was the owner when Maryland legalized casino gambling in 2008. Soon after in 2011, Ocean Downs debuted its new slot machine casino, then added table games a couple of years later. Rickman elected to sell the property to Churchill Downs and Saratoga Raceway in 2017. Just a year later, Churchill bought out Saratoga’s ownership share. The deal involved Churchill giving up its 25% stake in Saratoga in exchange for the half of Ocean Down’s Saratoga owned.

How can you tell when a slot machines ready to hit?You cannot tell when a modern slot machine will hit because the outcome of each spin is random. No matter how many times a machine has spun, and no matter what the outcomes of those spins were, the probability of the next result remains the same. But people often believe otherwise.
