Lakes’ previous casinos had gleaned insight using traditional tools and methodologies like canned and expensive custom reports from the various gaming systems used at their other casinos. Doing so required a deeper look into operational optimization and led them to reassess the way in which they made decisions. The new owners and operators of Rocky Gap were determined to learn from the resort’s less-than-stellar operational history and wanted to go all in on investing in developing a top-notch gaming and recreation destination. The transformation of Rocky Gap was no stroke of luck, to say the least. This breathed much-needed new life into the area and quickly transformed the resort and surrounding area into one of the region’s most popular destinations.

After initially failing under the ownership of the state, the resort was purchased by Lakes Entertainment in 2012 with the casino opening in May 2013. Set in the scenic Rocky Gap State Park on the shores of Lake Habeeb, Rocky Gap Casino Resort is one of Maryland’s newest casinos. Rocky Gap Casino Resort, located in the heart of Rocky Gap State Park, is one of Maryland’s finest entertainment destinations.
