History
The casino hotel opened as Hollywood Casino Shreveport in December 2000 as the fifth riverboat casino in the Shreveport-Bossier City market. The casino, at its opening, featured a 30,000 square foot casino with a 14 floor hotel and multiple restaurants. It cost $230 million to construct and was originally owned Hollywood Casino Corporation.
In 2004, Hollywood Casino Corporation filed for bankruptcy. In 2005, the casino was bought by Eldorado Resorts, Inc., now Caesars Entertainment, Inc., for $154 million. After being purchased, the casino underwent renovations. A few months later, it was rebranded as Eldorado Resort Casino Shreveport.
On April 24, 2020, Twin River Worldwide Holdings, now Bally's Corporation, announced its intention to purchase Eldorado Resort Casino Shreveport and other Caesar's Entertainment properties. In December 2020, Bally's Corporation completed its acquisition of the property for $165 million. In November 2021, the casino resort was renamed to its current name, Bally's Shreveport Casino & Hotel.
