BATON ROUGE, La. â A Louisiana Senate committee narrowly advanced a bill Monday that would let a company move its casino license from Bossier City to St. Tammany Parish if parish voters and state regulators approve.
The change could boost tax revenue by more than $60 million, though the Legislative Fiscal Office said itâs difficult to estimate âdue to a lack of specific plans and information.â Those numbers, however, donât take into account the negative impacts the casino could have, especially in Slidell, where the facility may be placed, opponents said.
Pacific Peninsula Entertainment, or P2E, wants to relocate its casino license, one of 15 in the state. The company closed DiamondJacks Casino in Bossier City last year.
