Evansville's riverboat casino is expanding as the owners prepare for competition from a new casino about a two-hour drive away in French Lick.
The Casino Aztar is adding an entertainment complex and hotel. Some improvements -- like new penny slot machines -- are already in place.
A new $40 million entertainment complex will have a series of grand openings in September. "The District at Casino Aztar" will include an Irish pub, a one-acre park and a bowling and billiards complex.
The casino is also working on a 100-room hotel that includes rooms with plasma-screen televisions and suites with panoramic river views. It's scheduled to open in mid-December.
The French Lick Resort and Casino is scheduled to open in November. |
