Stay on top exciting new prospects or follow along as controversies bubble up or the tug of wars develop.

Most casinos don't last forever. Sometimes they'll move from the river to land, they might be imploded to make room for something fresh and new, or what may have seemed like a great concept just can't make the numbers and closes after a year. Look for breaking and sometimes sad news about casino closures in this section.
