Maryland Live had no comment on its suit or MGM's reply, according to a spokeswoman. Horseshoe was not named as a defendant, and the employee, Helena Wong, testified she had gathered the names of 19 players in the course of her job - an act she said did not qualify as theft. In 2014, Maryland Live filed a suit against one of its VIP hosts, alleging that she copied a list of top customers before taking a job at Horseshoe Casino Baltimore. With the suit, Maryland Live is seeking unspecified damages and an injunction to prevent further "breaches." "The allegations in Maryland Live's lawsuit against MGM National Harbor are baseless, and MGM will vigorously defend against Maryland Live's lawsuit." "In addition, Maryland Live is resorting to threatening its current and former employees with unenforceable non-compete provisions in hopes of preventing people from working in other states regardless of whether their new employment would compete with Maryland Live," the statement said. "Although it is our normal practice to not comment on pending litigation, this lawsuit amounts to nothing more than a thinly disguised attempt to stifle the competition Maryland Live expects from MGM's National Harbor resort and to try to tarnish MGM's reputation in the marketplace," the statement said.
