The Fixed Point That Answers Your Question
Maryland Live Casino sits at 39.157226 latitude and -76.727042 longitude, which places it in Hanover, Maryland. The venue opened in 2012 and is owned by Gaming and Leisure Properties, with The Cordish Companies operating the property. Whether you are asking about table games or planning a trip, the first thing to understand is that this is a fixed physical location, not a moving target.
The question of whether Maryland Live Casino has table games is answered by the venue's documented gaming inventory. The property has 122 table games, a figure that reflects the count when table games debuted in April 2013 to complement the electronic games and slot machines already on the floor. The casino also has over 3,900 slot machines and electronic table games, plus 52 poker tables, according to publicly published reference sources. Facility figures like these are revised as properties are rebuilt and expanded, so treat the numbers as a documented point in time rather than a guarantee of today's exact count.
Straight-Line Distance, Not Road Distance
The distances in this article are straight-line, great-circle measurements between documented coordinates. A straight-line distance is the shortest path across the surface of the earth, the way a crow would fly. It is not the distance you would drive.
Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance. Roads bend around terrain, follow property lines, avoid bodies of water, and connect through intersections rather than cutting across open space. This article does not publish road mileage, driving times, or travel durations in any unit. If you need to know how long it will take to drive, that figure depends on your starting point, the route you choose, traffic, and road conditions, none of which a fixed coordinate can tell you.
Why Straight-Line and Driving Distances Diverge
The gap between a straight-line measurement and the distance you travel comes from several physical and legal realities. Understanding these helps explain why two places can appear close on a map yet take far longer to reach by car.
First, terrain matters. Hills, ridges, and valleys force roads to follow contours rather than cut directly across them. Second, water creates hard barriers. A straight line may cross a river, bay, or lake, but a driver must go to a bridge, tunnel, or ferry crossing, adding miles. Third, the road network itself is not a grid. Highways connect population centers and follow historical routes, which rarely match the shortest geometric path between two points. Fourth, state and county boundaries can affect routing, as roads are built and maintained by different jurisdictions with different priorities.
For Maryland Live Casino specifically, the venue sits in the Baltimore-Washington corridor, an area shaped by the Chesapeake Bay, the Patapsco River, and dense suburban development. A straight line to Washington DC is 23.4 miles, but the actual drive involves navigating around waterways and through a heavily built environment, so the road distance is longer. The straight-line figure tells you how close the venue is in absolute terms; it does not tell you how to get there.
Where Hanover, Maryland Sits in the Region
Hanover is in the state of Maryland, in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Based on the venue's coordinates, Maryland Live Casino is positioned southwest of Baltimore and northeast of Washington DC. The straight-line distance to Washington DC is 23.4 miles, which places the venue firmly inside the greater Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area.
The venue is also within reach of several major East Coast cities when measured as the crow flies. Philadelphia is 99.8 miles straight-line, Atlantic City is 124.0 miles straight-line, and New York City is 179.8 miles straight-line. These figures describe geographic proximity only. They do not describe travel convenience, and they should not be read as driving distances.

If Your Starting Point Is Not in the Table
The venue's position is fixed. Your position is not. If the city or landmark you are starting from does not appear in the table above, this article cannot measure that specific straight-line distance, because no documented coordinate pair exists for it in the reference set used here. The article also cannot measure any road distance, driving time, or transit time for any pair, including the ones in the table.
To measure from your own starting point, you need two coordinates: the venue's latitude and longitude, which are 39.157226 and -76.727042, and the latitude and longitude of your origin. Any mapping tool that accepts coordinate pairs can calculate a great-circle distance between them. The result will be a straight-line figure, not a driving distance. To get a driving distance, you would need to use a routing service that accounts for the actual road network, and that figure will always be larger than the straight-line number.
What to Confirm Before You Go
Several pieces of information change over time and are not fixed by the venue's coordinates or its documented facility figures. Before you travel, confirm each of these through the property's own published channels or a current mapping service.
- The current table game count and which specific games are offered. The 122 table games figure is a documented point in time from April 2013. The venue's own gaming floor page or guest services line carries the current mix.
- The venue's operating hours and whether any areas of the floor are closed or reconfigured. Hours are not a coordinate and are not documented in this article.
- Your actual driving route and travel time from your origin. Use a routing tool with live traffic data, not the straight-line figures above.
- Parking availability, entry requirements, and any age or identification rules. These are set by the operator and can change without notice.
- Whether the venue's ownership or branding has changed since the documented owner, Gaming and Leisure Properties, was recorded. Casino properties change hands and rebrand, and the operator, The Cordish Companies, may update its own published materials.
FAQ
Does Maryland Live Casino have table games?
Yes. The venue has 122 table games, a figure documented when table games debuted in April 2013 to complement the electronic games and slot machines already on the floor. The casino also has over 3,900 slot machines and electronic table games, plus 52 poker tables. These figures come from publicly published reference sources and describe a documented point in time, not necessarily today's exact count.
How far is Maryland Live Casino from Washington DC?
The straight-line, great-circle distance between Maryland Live Casino and Washington DC is 23.4 miles. That is the shortest path across the earth's surface, not a driving distance. The road distance is longer because the route must navigate around waterways and through the built environment of the Baltimore-Washington corridor. This article does not publish road mileage or driving times.
Can I get driving directions from the straight-line distances in this article?
No. Straight-line distances describe geographic proximity only. They do not account for roads, bridges, traffic, or terrain, and they cannot be converted into driving directions or travel times. To plan a drive, use a routing service with your exact starting address and the venue's coordinates, 39.157226 latitude and -76.727042 longitude, and treat the result as a road distance, which will be longer than the straight-line figure.
