Borgata Holds Atlantic City Job Fair for Maryland casino

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) -- The new owner of Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa has held a job fair in Atlantic City for a casino complex that's under construction in Maryland.

MGM says it is seeking hundreds of workers to staff the casino and lounges at MGM National Harbor, which is under development in Prince George's County, Maryland.

MGM set up casino tables Wednesday for job interviewees to test their skills at dealing various games.

Four Atlantic City casinos closed in 2014 and it was announced last week that Atlantic City's Trump Taj Mahal casino plans to close on Oct. 10, less than a month before New Jersey voters go to the polls to decide whether to authorize two new casinos near New York City.
