Direct peers

• MGM National Harbor: An integrated casino resort ~30 miles from The Rose across the Potomac in Maryland, offering hotel, gaming (including table games and slots), F&B, and entertainment to the same Washington DC metro catchment. Direct head-to-head competitor for DC-area gaming and entertainment spend.
• Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland: Major casino resort in Hanover, Maryland operating 4,000+ slots, table games, hotel, dining and entertainment. Competes directly with The Rose for DC-metro gaming customers unwilling to drive to the four approved Virginia casino cities.
• Wind Creek Bethlehem: Integrated casino resort in Bethlehem, PA featuring 100,000+ SF gaming floor, hotel, multiple dining venues and entertainment. Comparable in scale (~$460M-class investment), destination positioning, and asset mix to The Rose.
• Horseshoe Casino Baltimore: Caesars-operated casino in downtown Baltimore with hotel, table games, slots, dining, and entertainment — competing for the same DC/Baltimore corridor gaming and hospitality spend.

Broad incumbents

• Rivers Casino (various locations): Regional integrated casino properties under Rush Street Gaming with gaming, hotel, F&B, and entertainment. Comparable in destination-resort economics and mixed-use gaming + hospitality asset profile even though geographies differ.
• MGM Resorts International: Large publicly-traded gaming and hospitality conglomerate operating multiple integrated casino resorts including MGM National Harbor. Comparable in destination-resort operating model and entertainment/loyalty programs, with broader portfolio scale.
• Rosie's Gaming Emporiums (Virginia): Sister HHR gaming properties operated by CDI/Colonial Downs throughout Virginia. While smaller and lacking hotels/F&B, they share the HHR regulatory model, FastTrack Rewards integration, and target the same Virginia gaming demographic — together forming an ecosystem with The Rose as the flagship.
• Churchill Downs Incorporated (CDI): Direct parent of The Rose, publicly traded on NASDAQ (CHDN). Owns/operates Churchill Downs Racetrack, Derby City Gaming, several Rosie and HHR properties, and a portfolio of regional casinos (e.g., Queen of Terre Haute). Provides comparable operating data and capital allocation benchmarking.
• Colonial Downs Racetrack: Parent sister property operated by CDI/Colonial Downs Group; live horse racing venue in New Kent County, Virginia. Relevant peer given shared HHR/pari-mutuel regulatory framework, shared loyalty program, and shared operator playbook.
• Ocean Casino Resort (Atlantic City): Atlantic City integrated resort with hotel, gaming, F&B, and entertainment — comparable in the mix of on-site amenities and resort economics, though serving a different geography (drive-to destination from Mid-Atlantic metros).
