Ameristar Casino, Inc. announced on June 21 that a new casino and entertainment facility in St. Charles, Missouri, will open in the middle of summer. The opening date of the new facility, which features an open street view under a wide, translucent sky light, an impressive casino, and seven different dining and entertainment venues, will be announced soon.

The company also announced that it has expanded the casino's building further, currently with 3,300 slots and approximately 130,000 square feet of gaming space with 95 table games, including video poker machines and live poker rooms. Due to the continued growth of the dynamic St. Louis market, the company plans to fully utilize the second floor of the casino that was previously reserved for future expansion. The casino will now be the largest in the metropolitan St. Louis market. 온라인카지노
"When we acquired the St. Charles property, we made a commitment to bring the best gaming and entertainment destinations to the St. Charles community," said Craig H. Neilsen, the company's chairman, president, and CEO. "With our latest design modifications, the casino will now be almost twice the size we originally planned and the property will offer more than double the innovative dining and entertainment options."
With construction nearly complete, the company expects the total construction cost of the new St. Charles facility, including furniture, fixtures, and equipment, to be approximately $190 million. The previously announced $170 million increase in construction costs is largely due to casino expansion, including approximately $5 million for additional gaming equipment, and other improvements and scope changes implemented in the project as construction progresses. The total construction cost of the project is expected to be approximately $360 million, including approximately $170 million spent by previous owners.
