Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission Approves Casino's Slots Expansion Project
With Iowa's Diamond Jo Casino revenues exceeding by far those projected by gaming industry experts, the casino's reported plan of further expansion recently received final approval by the state's Racing and Gaming Commission. The three-month-old Diamond Jo Casino located in Northwood currently boasts 513 slot machines, which, according to state records, are among Iowa's most profitable slots.
Diamond Jo's director of public relations Carrie Tedore was reported as saying that slot-machines have already overtaken the present poker room to satisfy customers' demand. Under the new $20 million project, the casino will feature a brand new poker room as well as 300 additional slot machines and 11 additional table games. The 30,000 square foot expansion will allow the casino to boast a larger entertainment space and a high-stakes gambling room.
