FLINTSTONE, Md. (AP) - The Rocky Gap Casino near Cumberland is demonstrating its poker tables for Maryland gambling regulators.

General Manager Scott Just says the controlled demonstration for the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency is set for Thursday afternoon.

He says the casino looks forward to offering poker to the public as soon as regulators give their approval.

The three poker tables are in the hotel lobby. Each has eight seats offering Texas Hold 'em with both limit and no-limit stakes.

The casino says proceeds from the controlled demonstration will be donated to charity.
