Louisiana’s Gaming Commission approved the sale of the abandoned Bossier City Diamond Jacks Casino to Foundation Gaming Thursday, setting the stage for a nearly $200 million renovation that the owners say will bring the property back to life.
“This is a day we’ve been waiting for a long time,” Gaming Commission Chairman Ronnie Johns said. “Foundation has an impressive plan.”
Foundation Gaming plans to open its new property, which will be the first land-based casino in the Shreveport-Bossier City market, by Dec. 2024 with demolition to begin early next year.
