Maryland Casino LLC, a subsidiary of Greenwood Racing, proposed the $800 million Parx Casino Hotel & Spa on a 22-acre parcel in Fort Washington with a hotel and entertainment venue. Rosecroft also would have featured horse racing. The plan also includes a hotel with a pool and spa and a multipurpose event center. The Hollywood Casino Resort at Rosecroft Raceway would have included slot machines, live table games and a poker room. Penn National, based in Wyomissing, Pa., had proposed a $700 million casino at the company's Rosecroft Raceway in Prince George's County, about 13 miles from Washington. This casino could not open until July 2016, or 30 months after a casino being built in Baltimore opens. The license is the sixth granted in five years in Maryland and four casinos have already opened. Maryland voters approved a casino in the county last year after lawmakers agreed to expand gambling in a special session. Murren said the resort will create 2,000 construction jobs and 4,000 permanent jobs.
