At this point, it was decided that a major overhaul of the casino was needed, and this has now been completed. The property was acquired in 2021 by CQ Holding Company, which purchased it from Penn Entertainment in a deal worth more than $28 million. The move inland comes after lawmakers in the state passed legislation in 2018 that allowed riverboat casinos in Louisiana to move inland providing the gaming floors remained around a quarter of a mile from the original riverboat locations. The improvements include the expansion of the gaming area and more facilities for visitors to enjoy. The venue, previously the Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge, has been brought inland and has undergone an $85 million renovation.
Gamblers in Louisiana now have another exciting entertainment option open to them following the official opening of the Queen Baton Rouge.
