HANOVER, Md. (AP) — The developers of a $500 million casino at Arundel Mills Mall in Hanover say they are accepting job applications.

Robert Norton, president and general manager of the Maryland Live! Casino, says the casino has launched an online application system and plans to fill 1,500 positions by April. He says interviews for some of the positions are already underway.

Hundreds of full- and part-time positions will be available in all departments, including facilities, security, marketing, finance, environmental services, information technology and food and beverage.

The casino will have 4,750 slots machines and electronic table games. Most of the machines and table games will open in June and the rest will open at the end of next year.
