US.- Caesars Entertainment has revealed that gaming operations will be shut down at Tunica Roadhouse Casino on January 31st, 2019. The company said that the hotel will continue to operate at both the hotel and casino at Horseshoe Tunica.
The operator revealed that the decision to cease gaming operations at Tunica Roadhouse follows an extensive decline in business levels in the area stemming from increased competition. “After exploring every other viable alternative, we have come to the difficult but necessary conclusion to cease gaming operations at Tunica Roadhouse in an effort to appropriately position our business for the current market opportunity and ensure the long-term viability of our remaining operations in the vicinity,” said Scott Barber, Regional President of Caesars Entertainment’s Mid-South Division.
“During the next two months, we will continue to operate the property in the same manner our guests have come to expect from the Caesars Entertainment brand — gaming, entertainment, hotel accommodations and, most importantly, a great service experience provided by our team members,” added Barber.
The company also said that it will provide job search assistance and training for the affected employees, who will receive preference at other Caesars Entertainment properties, including Horseshoe Tunica.
