The casino's ownership has not changed.

Officials say this is a rebranding meant to usher in an all new, $15 million state-of-the-art Bet Rivers sportsbook.

"It's a $15 million reinvestment of the overall property, including the brand new, state-of-the-art Bet Rivers sportsbook, a new signature restaurant coming soon called Jack's Bar and Grill, and we're doubling down on our commitments to the community, just to name a few things," casino general manager Rob Long said.

"I'm really proud to say, over the last 10 years we've won over a lot of hearts and minds in the neighborhood and the city and we've been a great community partner here," casino CEO Greg Carlin added.
