Horseshoe Casino Baltimore experienced temporary closure due to significant water damage, with plans to reopen Monday at noon. The incident required immediate evacuation of guests and employees.

The damage occurred when pipes burst, creating a hole in the ceiling above the 122,000-square-foot gaming floor. Water leaked onto the area containing numerous gambling machines, though the extent of damage to the equipment remains undisclosed.

The casino, which houses over 1,600 slot machines and nearly 100 table games, issued a statement via X (formerly Twitter) apologizing for the inconvenience while repair work continues.

This incident follows a pattern of weather-related closures at U.S. casinos, including recent flooding at Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack in April and the 2022 flash floods affecting several Las Vegas properties like Planet Hollywood, Circa, and Caesars Palace.

Horseshoe Casino Baltimore, one of Maryland's three full-scale casinos alongside MGM National Harbor and Live!, underwent major renovations two years ago to boost performance. The facility's strategic location near M&T Bank Stadium, Camden Yards, and Baltimore's Inner Harbor makes it a significant entertainment destination in the area.
