Penn National has added another $4 million to the $5.5 million already donated to try and prevent the construction of a Baltimore casino.  Voters will have the opportunity to make the final decision come Election Day and Penn is determined to try and discourage residents from backing such a plan.

MGM has donated $5.4 million for the “pro-expansion” cause while a Caesars-backed group has committed to donating money as well but has yet to show anyone the money. 

The casino is slated to be built in Prince George’s County and will feature table games such as poker.
