A Florida-based casino developer is betting on an energy boom in northern Nevada to revive a remote gambling parlor.

Gary Green Gaming has purchased the Say When casino in McDermitt, according to a news release. The casino is adjacent to the Thacker Pass lithium mine in Humboldt County.

Green’s plans for the Say When Casino include an expansion and redesign, a 24-hour restaurant, a boutique hotel, an entertainment complex and broadcast-recording center, and a shopping district, all meant to address projected demand from incoming mine employees, families and travelers.

“This is not just a casino acquisition — it’s a stake in the next great American boomtown,” said Gary Green, founder of Gary Green Gaming.
