Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: PNK) today announced that it has updated the planned opening for its $357 million Baton Rouge casino hotel, originally scheduled for December 2011. As a result of low Mississippi River water levels, the Company has been unable to move the three completed casino hulls, which together will form the casino itself, from Bollinger Shipyards in southern Louisiana to the project site in order to continue construction on the casino facilities. As such, and depending on river levels over the coming weeks and months, Pinnacle now expects to open its Baton Rouge casino hotel in the first quarter of 2012.
To date, Pinnacle has completed the majority of the on-site foundation work and is moving forward with structural steel work for the hotel and elevated concrete structure. Work on the vessel hulls has also been completed. As snow further up the Mississippi River continues to melt, water levels are expected to rise, allowing movement and final placement of the hull structure.
Anthony Sanfilippo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pinnacle Entertainment, commented, 'Our construction teams are diligently continuing their land-based work and we are prepared to quickly move the three hulls to the site as soon as river levels rise. We are confident that Pinnacle's new casino hotel will provide Baton Rouge with a best-in-market casino entertainment complex.'
Pinnacle's new Baton Rouge casino hotel will feature a single-level, 30,000-square-foot gaming floor; 1,500 slot machines; 51 table games, including a poker room; a hotel with 206 guestrooms and a rooftop pool; three dining outlets; a unique casino bar; 2,400 total parking spaces, including 800 in a covered parking garage; a multi-purpose event center with concert seating for up to 1,400 people or banquet seating for up to 800 people; and outdoor festival grounds with capacity for up to 2,500.

History[edit]
Pinnacle Entertainment traced its roots to June 10, 1938, when movie mogul Jack L. Warner opened the Hollywood Park Turf Club racetrack in Inglewood, California. The original shareholders included Hollywood figures such as Walt Disney, Mervyn LeRoy and Bing Crosby.
The company was incorporated and renamed in 1981 as Hollywood Park Realty Enterprises. It was renamed as Hollywood Park, Inc. in 1992.
After many years in the horse racing business, the company began a transformation into a casino operator. In 1997, the company acquired Boomtown, Inc. and its three casinos in Nevada, Louisiana and Mississippi for $188 million.[3] In 1998, it acquired Casino Magic Corp. for $340 million, including two casinos in Mississippi, one in Louisiana and a controlling stake in two casinos in Argentina.[4][5]
The company sold the Hollywood Park racetrack in 1999 to Churchill Downs, Inc. and in 2000 changed its name to Pinnacle Entertainment. Belterra Casino Resort & Spa made its debut in 2000 as Pinnacle's first company-designed and developed gaming resort. Then in 2005, Pinnacle opened L'Auberge du Lac in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
In September 2006, Pinnacle agreed to purchase the Sands Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey and announced plans to replace it with a $1.5-billion resort.[6] The property closed on November 11, 2006 and was demolished on October 18, 2007. Harsh economic times later caused Pinnacle to delay construction of the new resort.[7] In February 2010, the company announced that it had canceled its construction plans and would instead seek to sell the land.[8] Eventually it was sold in 2013 for $29.5 million to a group of local developers who planned to build a casino or family entertainment attraction.
In December 2006, Pinnacle purchased the President Casino in St. Louis, Missouri.
Lumière Place opened in downtown St. Louis in December 2007, anchoring an entertainment district including the Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis and HoteLumière. In March 2010, Pinnacle opened River City Casino, in Lemay, Missouri. Pinnacle announced the expansion of its L’Auberge Baton Rouge project in September 2010 and held a grand opening on September 1, 2012.
On November 9, 2009, chief executive officer Dan Lee was forced out by the company's board of directors after reportedly physically confronting and threatening a St. Louis County official.[9][10]
In July 2010, the company sold its Argentina casinos for $40 million.[11]
In January 2011, Pinnacle purchased River Downs Racetrack in southeast Cincinnati.
The company agreed in April 2012 to buy a 75.5% stake in Retama Park, a money-losing horse track in Selma, Texas, for $22.8 million. The purchase was seen as a 'defensive move' to help soften the blow if gaming in Texas were expanded and drew visitors away from Pinnacle's Lake Charles properties.[12]

In May 2011, Pinnacle expanded into the Asian gaming market with a $95-million investment for 26 percent ownership of Asian Coast Development Ltd., the owner and developer of the Ho Tram Strip, 80 miles away from Ho Chi Minh City in southern Vietnam, which will be the country’s first large-scale integrated destination resort. Upon the closing of the transaction, Pinnacle would enter into a management agreement through 2058 for the second integrated resort on the Ho Tram Strip.
On June 26, 2012, Pinnacle sold Boomtown Reno for $12.9 million to M1 Gaming, the company of former Station Casinos executive Dean DiLullo.[13]
On August 14, 2013, Pinnacle bought Ameristar Casinos for $869 million plus $1.9 billion in assumed debt,[14][15] adding nine properties in Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Mississippi and Northern Nevada. To gain FTC approval for the merger, Pinnacle agreed to sell its Lumiere Place property and Ameristar's under-construction casino in Lake Charles.
In November 2014, Pinnacle announced a plan to spin-off a real estate investment trust with the real estate assets of its 15 casinos.[16]Gaming and Leisure Properties (GLPI) then approached Pinnacle with an offer to buy those assets, which it said would be simpler and faster than Pinnacle's plan.[17] Pinnacle did not respond to the offer, so GLPI went public with its offer in March 2015.[17] In July, the companies reached a deal for GLPI to buy 14 of Pinnacle's 15 properties for $4.75 billion in stock, and lease them back to Pinnacle, with rent starting at $377 million per year.[18] The sale would be executed by Pinnacle spinning off a new company, also named Pinnacle Entertainment, with the casinos' operating businesses, along with ownership of Belterra Park (formerly River Downs) and the company's interest in Retama Park; GLPI would then acquire the original Pinnacle Entertainment.[19] The sale was completed in April 2016.[19] Pinnacle also purchased the operations of The Meadows Racetrack and Casino in Pennsylvania from GLPI for $138 million in September 2016.[20][21]
In December 2017, Pinnacle agreed to be acquired by Penn National Gaming for $2.8 billion in cash and stock.[22] To ensure regulatory approval for the deal, Pinnacle would sell the operations of four properties to Boyd Gaming for $575 million prior to the merger: Ameristar Kansas City, Ameristar St. Charles, Belterra Casino, and Belterra Park.[23] The real estate of Belterra Park was originally to be sold to GLPI, but was ultimately sold to Boyd for $58 million.[24][25] The transactions were completed on October 15, 2018.[26]
