Last week, Affinity Gaming announced it was selling Rail City Casino in Sparks to Truckee Gaming, reuniting the property with its former owner.

Szony, the CEO and managing partner of the Reno-based company, operated Rail City and several other Northern Nevada gaming establishments more than a decade ago when they were sold to Affinity’s predecessor, Herbst Gaming.

Two years after Herbst’s bankruptcy reorganization was finalized in 2011, Szony, who joined Herbst as an executive in 2007 and was helping steer the company through the post-bankruptcy matters, took back ownership of three of the casinos when he formed Truckee Gaming in 2012.
