Bally's Vicksburg is a riverboat casino and hotel in Vicksburg, Mississippi. It is owned and operated by Bally's Corporation. It has 25,000 square feet (2,300 m2) of gaming space and 89 hotel rooms.[1][2]

History[edit]

The project was initiated by the Rainbow Casino Corporation (RCC), made up of John A. Barrett and Leigh Seippel. Hospitality Franchise Systems agreed to provide $7.5 million in financing, and to franchise a hotel at the property under its Days Inn brand.[3]Six Flags agreed to build a 10-acre theme park named Pennants.[4][5]United Gaming (later known as Alliance Gaming, and then Bally Technologies) signed on to manage the casino.[6]

The Rainbow Casino opened on July 12, 1994, with 574 slot machines and 28 table games.[7] United Gaming took a 45 percent ownership stake on the day it opened.[6] It took a controlling stake the following year, after RCC failed to finance elements of the casino that it was responsible for.[8]

The hotel, owned by AmeriHost, opened in May 1995, and the company called it 'the most upscale Days Inn anywhere'.[9] It was rebranded as an AmeriHost Inn by 2000,[10] and in 2002 it was sold to AmeriHost's former chairman, Michael P. Holtz.[11]

The theme park, renamed as Funtricity Entertainment Park, also opened in May 1995.[12] Six Flags designed it as the flagship in a new chain of entertainment centers, targeted at markets too small to support a full-size park;[13] within two years, though, the concept was reportedly put on hold.[14] The park closed in 1998,[15] and Alliance bought the site for $500,000[16] and adapted its main building for use as a concert venue.[17]

A casino expansion was completed in 1999, increasing the number of slot machines from 725 to over 1,000.[18]

In 1999, United Gaming put the property, along with its other casino in Nevada, on the market, to help pay down corporate debts, but no satisfactory offers were received.[18]

Bally put the Rainbow back on the market in 2006.[19] In 2010, a sale was finally made to Isle of Capri Casinos for $80 million.[20] Isle of Capri rebranded the property under its Lady Luck name in November 2012.[21]

In March 2018, Eldorado Resorts (which had acquired Isle of Capri Casinos in 2017) agreed to sell the property to Churchill Downs Inc., owner of the neighboring Riverwalk Casino, for $51 million.[22] The sale was canceled, however, as a result of inquiries from antitrust regulators.[23] In July 2019, Eldorado agreed instead to sell the property to Twin River Worldwide Holdings, along with the Isle of Capri Casino Kansas City, for a total of $230 million.[24] The deal was made to help finance Eldorado's pending acquisition of Caesars Entertainment.[24] The sale to Twin River closed in July 2020, and the property was renamed as Casino Vicksburg.[25]

Twin River then purchased the Bally's casino brand from Caesars Entertainment, changed its own name to Bally's Corporation, and announced plans to rebrand most of its casinos.[26][27] As part of this rebranding, Casino Vicksburg became Bally's Vicksburg in August 2021.[28]
