The plan will also bring back the casino's hotel, which will reopen after a renovation.
The property would operate 316 slot machines and 14 table games. There will also be a 2,500-square-foot sportsbook and lounge.
There will be a 16,500-square-foot gaming floor in the atrium of the property along the riverfront in downtown Baton Rouge as well as an oyster bar/bistro, featuring a pizza station, wine bar and bowling lanes. The relocation process is set to start next April and be completed in May 2024. The Louisiana Gaming Control Board approved last week the move of the Belle of Baton Rouge riverboat casino onto land in a $35 million project that is expected to create 200 new jobs.
