NAVIGATION OF JURISDICTIONS
|

Monday, May 15, 2005 The Iowa Racing & Gaming Commission’s six month licensing process has been completed. Yesterday, the Commission voted to issue four new “excursion gambling boat” licenses. These casinos will not cruise, nor even float, but still will bear a resemblance to a riverboat. Licenses were granted in Palo Alto (Emmetsburg in the northwest lakes region), Worth (near the Minnesota border along I-35), Black Hawk (Waterloo/Cedar Falls) and Washington (south of Cedar Rapids/Iowa City along Hwy 218 “Avenue of the Saints”) counties. The license recipients are: Worth County – Peninsula Gaming, operator of the Dubuque Diamond Jo and the New Evangeline Downs racino, Black Hawk County – Isle of Capri, Washington County – Catfish Bend, operator of the boat in Burlington/Ft. Madison, Iowa and Palo Alto County – Wild Rose Entertainment, a new entry into gaming, whose principals are Gary Kirke and Dr. Michael Richards of Des Moines. |
