(KIWA Staff Photo)Iowa Racing and Gaming Administrator Tina Eick says state regulators have been contacted about Churchill Downs’ interest in potentially selling several of its regional casinos — including the Hard Rock in Sioux City.
Eick says any sale would require state approval.
Eick says a new owner would go through the same process as any new casino operator in the state.
She says that process includes an extensive review of the owners and their finances.
Eick says regulators are currently conducting that same process for the proposed sale of Caesars Entertainment’s Iowa casinos.
The Caesars sale would include the Horseshoe in Council Bluffs, Harrah’s in Council Bluffs, and the Isle Casinos in Bettendorf and Waterloo.
