Two more facilities won a key approval Wednesday to offer in-person gambling on sports in Maryland.

The Riverboat on the Potomac, located off the Virginia shore of the river, and Long Shot’s in Frederick got signoff from the Maryland Sports Wagering Application Review Commission. Both are existing restaurants that offer gambling including lottery and off-track betting.

Both the Riverboat and Long Shot’s still must undergo a final round of technical reviews by state lottery officials before they can start accepting wagers. Owners of both facilities said it will be well into the new year before they can open their sportsbook operations.

“I’m pinching myself,” said Tony Jones, one of the investors in the Riverboat on the Potomac.
