Oh...if only I could give this place zero stars. I normally play at Maryland Live where it is always lively, slot payouts are decent, great atmosphere and lot of free play...including when you sign up for a "player's club card." I happened to be in Baltimore today so I stopped by the Horseshoe. Here is my story. I went to the Rewards desk to sign up for a player's club card. I asked if there was any free playfor signing up. Woman at computer says, "No, we don't want people coming here for free play." Well, first of all, why not put $20 on the card. Maryland Live does more than that.

She is having trouble inputting my info into the computer and opens up to me by saying, "I wish we did give out free play. We used to. We used to do a lot of fun promotions. We've stopped doing them. I don't know why." Okay, now I'm thinking this casino is going to be bad. My thoughts were correct. On a weekday afternoon, Maryland Live is hopping. The Horseshoe was DEAD! Felt like a mausoleum. Slot machines were the tightest I've ever played...no payouts. Dreary slot room felt like I was in a scene from "The Walking Dead." Most pleasure I got was cutting up my player's card. throwing it in the trash and leaving. Will NEVER go back.
