Episode Details

Boomtown Casino is set to make waves in New Orleans with a $195 million move from its riverboat to a sleek, 140,000-square-foot land-based casino in Harvey—rebranded as Hollywood Casino New Orleans. Scheduled to open by 2029, the new venue will feature 875 slot machines, 45 table games, sports betting, and dining, while the current hotel stays open and the riverboat retires. This transition follows Louisiana’s 2018 law allowing riverboat casinos to relocate nearby, joining other successful moves like Treasure Chest and Belle of Baton Rouge. Backed by Penn Entertainment, known for profitable relocations in Illinois and Iowa, this bold investment aims to modernize gaming and boost customer experience—pending regulatory approval.
