We look forward to securing additional regulatory approvals in the near term and remain on schedule to complete the transaction in the second half of this year,” said Penn National Gaming CEO Timothy J. “We appreciate the diligent work of the Indiana Gaming Commission in their review and approval of our proposed transaction. The Switzerland County casino and three others are being sold off by Pinnacle to avoid monopoly concerns in their respective markets. The Indiana Gaming Commission on June 28 approved a $575 million spinoff deal that will see Belterra Casino become owned by Boyd Gaming Corporation. The deal is expected to close later this year. Last December, Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg owner Penn National Gaming announced a $2.8 billion deal to purchase Pinnacle Entertainment, which currently owns Belterra.
A new owner for Belterra Casino Resort & Spa in Switzerland County has been given the blessing of the Indiana Gaming Commission.
