Casino Queen To Move Off of River
Around this time next year, the Casino Queen in East St. Louis will be moved inland to a new site and bigger digs. And pending approval from the gaming board, the casino will also have new owners. Regional leaders posed for the cameras and, with shovels in hand, broke ground for a new Casino Queen in East St. Louis.
The first phase of the 150-million dollar project includes 236-thousand square feet, and 38-thousand square feet of gaming space. "Like most enterprises, having something new, exciting and different, we think is going to retain our existing customers plus bring in new customers," says Casino Queen President Joe Koman. However, what officials see as its biggest competitor, the President Casino in downtown St. Louis, also saw a drop of 3 percent.
