As its name might suggest, most of Truckee Gaming’s portfolio is based not far from Northern Nevada’s scenic river.
But company CEO Ferenc Szony told the Gaming Control Board last week he sees an opportunity hundreds of miles south, in a city bouncing back. Two North Las Vegas casinos, Texas Station and Fiesta Rancho, never reopened after the statewide casino closures during the pandemic in 2020.
“You hear a lot more about North Las Vegas and we wanted to be a part of it,” said Szony, whose Reno-based company spent $20 million to acquire the 52-year-old Poker Palace Casino in North Las Vegas. The property on Las Vegas Boulevard is being renovated into Club Fortune North, to signify its connection with Truckee Gaming’s Club Fortune in Henderson.
