Horseshoe Casino mum on curfew losses, plans to pay workers' full salaries

When the Horseshoe Casino Baltimore opened in August, it was never supposed to close. Ever.

But like other businesses caught in last week's curfew, the 24-hour gaming venue closed by 9 p.m. from Tuesday through Saturday. Baltimoreans were required to be off the streets from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. to keep unrest surrounding Freddie Gray's death at a minimum.

Along with the rest of Baltimore's hospitality sector, the Horseshoe took a hit from having shorter hours. Noah Hirsch, the casino's vice president of marketing, declined to quantify the amount of business lost as a result of the curfew, but it came as the South Baltimore gaming venue continues to fall short of its revenue projections.
