In January of this year it was reported that Shreveport's Eldorado Casino was to be sold to Maverick Gaming LLC.
The sale was part of a restructuring to facilitate a merger of Caesar's Entertainment and Eldorado Resorts. If completed, Eldorado would then own Horseshoe Casino , Harrah's Louisiana Downs, and Harrah's land-based casino in New Orleans.
The Maverick deal fell apart.
In April Eldorado Resorts announced a potential sale of the El Dorado casino to Twin River Worldwide Holdings, Inc.
Twin River has now pulled out of the proposed sale. The recent enactment of a no smoking ban in Shreveport casinos was a cited reason.
Eldorado Casino had prior to the COVID-19 pandemic over 1200 employees
