History

A deal to sell the casino to Fortunes Entertainment fell through on November 6, 2006. Aztar Corporation, the previous owner, was bought out by Columbia Sussex on January 3, 2007. Columbia Sussex, unable to obtain a casino license in the state, immediately put the property up for sale and threatened to close it down in order to preserve the takeover deal with Aztar.

On March 19, 2007 Isle of Capri purchased the casino from Columbia Sussex for about $45 million. Isle of Capri has not decided on a name for the casino. The company operates four distinct brands, including Isle of Capri, Rhythm City, Colorado Central Station and The Isle, a new theme at its Pompano Park racetrack casino in Pompano Beach, Florida.

Columbia Sussex has since lost its license in New Jersey, is under investigation in Indiana, and has put the rest of their casino properties up for sale.
