The Century Casino & Hotel Caruthersville is set to open on Friday, November 1, now that the Missouri Gaming Commission has approved the gaming licence switch from the temporary pavilion location.
The new venue will house 599 slot machines and nine live table games, a 50 per cent increase in gaming positions compared with the temporary location. The number of hotel rooms will double to 74.
The construction of this new land-based casino and hotel started in December 2022 and will be finalised on time and on budget with an estimated project cost of US$51.9m, which has been funded by VICI Properties. VICI will own the real estate improvements associated with the Caruthersville project, which will become part of the company’s triple net master lease agreement with subsidiaries of VICI.
The opening of the new land-based casino will be celebrated with a ribbon-cutting event at 11:30 am Central Time on opening day, and a flurry of activities over the opening weekend.
