We look forward to welcoming the Sam’s Town Shreveport team to Bally’s and working closely with regulators, local leaders and employees to ensure a smooth transition. Louisiana is an important market for our company, and we are excited about the opportunities ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bally’s also thanked Boyd Gaming for its collaboration throughout the acquisition process and acknowledged the cooperation of state and local stakeholders in completing the transaction.<\/p>\n

Globally renowned entrepreneur, Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson, who has and continues to make significant investments in Shreveport’s entertainment district, welcomed the closing and expressed enthusiasm about future collaboration.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m excited for Bally’s expansion in Shreveport as we continue investing in the city’s future,\u201d Jackson said. \u201cTogether, we have an opportunity to create new entertainment, dining and retail experiences that attract visitors, support local businesses and contribute to Shreveport’s continued growth. I look forward to working with Bally’s to help build something that benefits the community for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
