November 8, 2013 The Dispatch/Maryland Coast Dispatch Page 41 Casino Revenue Gains Posted BERLIN – The October revenue figures for Maryland’s four operating casinos were released this week, revealing the Casino at Ocean Downs in Berlin continues to make significant gains. The Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency on Tuesday announced the four casinos up and running in Maryland generated over $66 million combined during the month of October. Maryland Live in Anne Arundel County continued to be a juggernaut for the state’s casino gaming industry, contributing nearly $52 million to the $66 million-plus total for October. The Casino at Ocean Downs showed a significant increase in revenue generated during October 2013 over the same month in the prior year. The Berlin casino’s 800 video lottery terminals generated over $4.2 million in October 2013, representing an increase of nearly $728,000, or just over 20 percent, over October 2012. The gross gaming revenue per machine per day for the Casino at Ocean Downs in October came in at $170.89. The Casino at Ocean Downs’ top month in its history came in August when it generated $5.9 million. The Hollywood Casino in Cecil County showed significant gains in October after slumping for much of the year. The Cecil County casino grossed $6.9 million in October, representing an increase of 26 percent over October 2012. The new Rocky Gap casino in western Maryland generated $3.4 million in October.

The second change Hubberman decided on was to add steamed blue crabs to the menu. The restaurant now has a complete steamed crab department, including a brand new, large stainless steel refrigeration box for the crabs that will be served in the sports bar and the restaurant’s private room “There will be plenty of room for the people who want crabs and plenty of room for those who want to sit down and have a nice dinner,” Hubberman said. Hubberman explained when he came back from his leave of absence he had noticed a change where chains and restaurants that specialize in specific food items had grown to offer a wide variety on their menu in order to survive. “I put in crabs because everybody now sells ribs except for my barber, and the reason he isn’t selling ribs is because he doesn’t want to lose me as a customer,” Hubberman said. “You can’t name a chain or a restaurant that doesn’t have ribs on their menu, but none of them can compare with ours. Others compete but no one compares, and that is the fact.” J/R’s is currently offering crabs from Louisiana in all sizes – small, large, extra-large and jumbos that are offered by the half-dozen or dozen. “We have been in the rib business for 34 years. We have the finest ribs at the beach, they are absolutely delicious, and one of the best crab cakes you will ever eat. All of the food that we serve, including seafood and steaks, we try to be the best,” Hubberman said. “This all can be found only at J/R’s 131st location because of our size, but come and enjoy our full menu and ribs at both locations, 62nd and 131st streets.” J/R’s takes pride in its reasonably priced items on its happy hour, sports bar and full dinner menu, including a children’s menu. Hubberman also added the catering and take-out business on 131st Street is being stocked for all your holiday needs. Additionally, he said J/R’s will be offering a Thanksgiving dinner.
