Now as construction is underway, GLPI will transform the parking lot located right next to the existing Hollywood Casino into a land-based gaming and entertainment complex. In addition to moving to land, Hollywood Casino will also modernize its offering to improve the experience for its customers at almost all levels. Mollura went on to note that they are definitely looking forward to adding some new business. Hollywood Casino Marketing Vice President Aaron Mollura said during Tuesday’s groundbreaking ceremony that the riverboat gambling venue has been part of the area’s casino scene for 25 years and that “going land-based was something we thought would enhance the product, make it better.” The relocation project kicked off with a starting budget of $60 million, up significantly from the $21-25 million investment previously announced by property owner Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. The casino is the first in Baton Rouge to take advantage of a 2018 law allowing Indiana’s riverboat casinos to relocate on land.

Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge on Tuesday broke ground on a multi-million dollar project that will see the riverboat operation move onto dry land sometime next year.
