HANOVER, Md. — Maryland Live! Casino, an affiliate of The Cordish Companies, has launched a new hiring initiative aimed at recruiting young adults aged 18 and up for all available positions at the Hanover, Maryland, casino. The campaign follows the passage of new Maryland gaming legislation that lowers the allowable hiring age of casino employees to 18, beginning October 1, 2015, opening the door for qualified young adults to start their career early and obtain a well-paying casino job. HB1111 was passed by the Maryland General Assembly during the 2015 Legislative Session and signed into law by Governor Hogan on April 14, 2015.
Job opportunities are available in all departments, with the exception of bartenders, who must still be 21 years of age. In addition, younger candidates interested in pursuing a job as a table games dealer must first successfully complete a dealer school training course before being considered for a position. Anne Arundel Community College is currently offering Dealer School informational sessions to individuals interested in learning what it takes to be a casino dealer.
