P2E Given the Nod to Relocate Casino License to Slidell
Louisiana Gaming Control Board approved a resolution to transfer a Bossier City casino license to a proposed gambling establishment in St. Tammany Parish. Peninsula Pacific Entertainment will build a hotel and casino complex just outside the city of Slidell. The parish's upcoming election was originally scheduled to take place on November 13, but was postponed to December 11.
The next step in the legal process is for the Louisiana State Bond Commission to decide on September 16 whether to call a referendum that would put the casino question before St. Tammany residents on the December 11 ballot. If approved, the property will operate as Camellia Bay Resort. The resort will feature nearly 80,000 square feet of gaming space with 1,250 slot machines, table games, a poker room, and a sportsbook. It will also have a rich selection of dining outlets and bars, 4-star hotel, three live music venues, 20,00 square ft of meeting space, and attractions, including a lazy river.
