The casino, at its opening, featured a 30,000 square foot casino with a 14 floor hotel and multiple restaurants. It cost $230 million to construct and was originally owned Hollywood Casino Corporation.[5]
In 2004, Hollywood Casino Corporation filed for bankruptcy. In 2005, the casino was bought by Eldorado Resorts, Inc., now Caesars Entertainment, Inc., for $154 million. After being purchased, the casino underwent renovations. A few months later, it was rebranded as Eldorado Resort Casino Shreveport.[6]
On April 24, 2020, Twin River Worldwide Holdings, now Bally's Corporation, announced its intention to purchase Eldorado Resort Casino Shreveport and other Caesar's Entertainment properties.[7] In December 2020, Bally's Corporation completed its acquisition of the property for $165 million. In November 2021, the casino resort was renamed to its current name, Bally's Shreveport Casino & Hotel.[8]
