It’s now official, the property formally known as Diamond Jacks in Bossier City will reopen, bringing a new casino to the Shreveport area. The gaming license was transferred to a Mississippi based company called Foundation Gaming.

Foundation Gaming will sell the riverboat, the new casino will be totally land based. Almost $200 million dollars will be spent to renovate and rebuild the Bossier City property. The hotel will be gutted and renovated. A new complex will be built for the gaming portion. The new facilities will include restaurants and several other amenities.

Officials say the new casino will be about 45,000 square feet – making it the largest in the Shreveport area.

Diamond Jacks closed in 2020 at the height of the COVID 19 pandemic; and decided later in the year to cease operations completely.
