Drew Brees may have been all-in for locating a casino near Slidell, but the St. Tammany Parish voters were not – at least the ones who participated in Saturday’s referendum. Casino owners now have 60 days to decide whether to reopen their facility in Bossier City or surrender their license to the state.
Back in September, the Louisiana Gaming Control Board inserted the 60-day provision into the resolution allowing, if approved by parish voters, Pacific Peninsula Entertainment, called P2E, to move its license located in Bossier City to Lake Pontchartrain and to build a $329.2 million casino resort at the first exit off the Interstate 10 Twin Bridge.
