Rocky Gap Casino Resort
Flintstone, Maryland
Rocky Gap Casino Resort occupies a setting virtually unique among US commercial casinos — it is located within Rocky Gap State Park in Allegany County in the mountains of western Maryland, approximately 10 miles east of Cumberland and approximately 125 miles west of Baltimore via I-68 and I-70. The state park setting features Rocky Gap Lake, hiking trails, and natural scenery; the casino sits on the lake shore. A Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course is part of the resort complex. This combination of state park location, mountain scenery, and golf makes Rocky Gap Casino Resort a genuine outdoor recreation destination with gaming as one component — rather than a pure gaming destination that also has amenities.
Golden Entertainment is a Las Vegas-based gaming company that operates Rocky Gap Casino Resort alongside distributed gaming operations in multiple states.

Maryland's westernmost casino in Rocky Gap State Park — Jack Nicklaus golf, mountain lake setting, and 600 slots near Cumberland
Rocky Gap Casino Resort is fundamentally different from Maryland's other five casinos: it's located within a state park, features a Jack Nicklaus golf course, and sits on Rocky Gap Lake in the Appalachian Mountains of Allegany County. The 600-machine and 10-table gaming floor is the smallest in Maryland's casino market — this is a resort destination where gaming is one amenity among many, rather than the primary driver. Golden Entertainment operates the property. Verify current promotions and hotel availability at rockygapcasino.com.
