CASINO TIMELINE INCLUDES COMMISSION VISIT TO SIOUX CITY

THERE'S A LOT THAT HAS TO HAPPEN YET BEFORE A FINAL DECISION IS REACHED ON WHO WILL OPERATE A NEW LAND BASED GAMING CASINO IN WOODBURY COUNTY.

IOWA RACING AND GAMING COMMISSION ADMINISTRATOR BRIAN OHORILKO SAYS THE NEXT BIG STEP HAPPENS IN JANUARY:



TWO OF THE FOUR PROPOSALS ARE FROM PENN NATIONAL GAMING, WHICH OWNS AND OPERATES THE ARGOSY RIVERBOAT HERE. OHORILKO SAYS THE COMMISSION WILL THEN COME TO SIOUX CITY:



APRIL 18TH IS THE DECISION DAY FOR THE I-R-G-C TO CHOOSE WHICH OF THE PROPOSALS WILL BE AWARDED THE RIGHT TO BUILD THE NEW CASINO.
