The Maryland Lottery and Gaming Commission has given preliminary approval of a drop of up to 3 percent in the minimum theoretical return-to-player percentage allowed for slot machines at the state’s casinos. According to a report in the Baltimore Sun, a final decision on implementation of the new rule is pending from state officials.

The minimum payback percentage on Maryland slots is currently 87 percent.

The News 4 I-Team, an investigative unit of the Washington, D.C.-area NBC affiliate, reported last week that Maryland’s slots pay out slightly less on average than they did in 2012

I wonder how high the edge would need to be in order for people to stop playing slots. Maybe 60%?

I've wondered how low they can actually go. Dollar slots with a $2 or $3 max bet used to return around 97%. Now "penny" slots with $4+ max bets return 85% and people play them.
