Accel Entertainment has expanded its Louisiana operations through the acquisition of Rice Palace Truck Stop Casino in Crowley, adding a high-volume gaming location that strengthens the company’s route-based gaming network in one of its key growth markets.
The transaction was completed through Accel subsidiary Toucan Gaming, which acquired the assets of Rice Palace Inc. and South Louisiana Gaming Inc., owner and operator of the Rice Palace Truck Stop Casino. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The acquisition adds 50 video gaming devices (VGDs) to Accel’s Louisiana portfolio and provides an opportunity for near-term operational expansion. The company plans to increase the location’s capacity to 60 VGDs, representing approximately an 8% increase relative to the 728 Louisiana route gaming terminals Accel reported at the end of the first quarter of 2026.
