East Texans Who Already Head Over To The Shreveport-Bossier City Area To Gamble Will Soon Have A New Option To Choose From.

Its already a known fact that if you want to gamble, you'll have to cross state lines into either Louisiana or Oklahoma to get your fix and while Shreveport-Bossier already has several casinos and hotels to choose from, gamblers will soon have a new destination to try their luck at.

The Cordish Companies presented master project plans to the Louisiana Gaming Control Board for the redevelopment of Diamond Jacks Casino & Hotel in Bossier City.

According to a press release, Cordish intends to transform the property into a world-class Live! casino resort and entertainment destination. Centrally, this includes the construction of an entirely new, first-class land-based Live! casino and the removal of the existing casino riverboat.
