It was built on an old lead factory lot, near the Mississippi River. It cost $21 million just to get the land ready to build on. It is Missouri's thirteenth, and last casino license to be issued, per the new law. If a casino closes, then another may apply for a license. This was a concession made to eliminate the loss limit law. Until last year, you could only lose $500 every two hours. You had to stand in line to get a player's card. The card would then track your play. Now you can just walk right in without a card and lose as much as you want. No free drinks and no good food specials like Vegas.
