The renovation at the Belle is still in the works, but it will be extensive. Plans are in the works for major additions and renovations at both properties, including new casinos at the Belle and Hollywood with sportsbooks. Casino Queen has $72 million in new construction for the Hollywood alone, with an expanded sports book facility opening sometime next year.

'Sports was definitely very important, the potential we saw in Baton Rouge.' In addition, a deal was approved Thursday for Casino Queen Holdings, an Illinois company, to buy the Hollywood Casino and Belle of Baton Rouge in the capital city. 'Obviously, this is such a sports-crazy area,' said Terry Downey, president of Casino Queen.

'Sport betting interest has been unbelievable since the legislature approved it last spring,' said Ronnie Johns, chairman of the Louisiana Gaming Board, as reported by WBRZ. Overall revenue at casinos in the Shreveport-Bossier market dropped by 5.4% from October to November this year, while the region’s six casinos saw a 19% increase compared to November of last year as the market continues to recover from COVID-19 restrictions that effectively shuttered casinos in much of March and all of April in 2020. Most of the wagers were made on football and on parlays. Horseshoe Bossier City Hotel & Casino, Margaritaville Resort Casino, and Boomtown Bossier City Casino are among the eight Louisiana riverboats that started taking sports wagers in November. The eight Louisiana casinos that launched sports betting operations in November raked in more than $5.6 million in revenue on more than $27 million in wagers, according to the latest revenue data from the Louisiana Gaming Control Board. About $570,000 in taxes were paid on those profits.
