History

In September 1995, Sam's Town Gambling Hall, Kansas City opened as the third casino under the brand, and the 5th casino in the Kansas City area.

In February 1996 Sam's Town dropped the admission fee that had run as high as $9 per person. This fee was used in the past to pay for the $2 per person fee the casinos were required to pay to the state.

After poor results, Boyd closed this location in July 1998, selling many of its assets to Harrah's Entertainment for $12.5 million.[1] The boat is no longer docked at the property, which is now owned and maintained by Cerner Corporation as their Riverport campus.

gollark: You shouldn't have definitions of things be "whatever is politically convenient for me" and shouldn't just do a strategic equivocation/motte-and-bailey thing by switching them out constantly.
gollark: Precise definitions are important! It is a sexual orientation, by the second one!
