Indiana-based Full House Resorts has announced plans for a new casino in the Fort Wayne area, marking a major expansion for the company in the Midwest gaming market. The new casino will be located in the suburban town of New Haven, just outside of the city of Fort Wayne.
The announcement comes after the company secured an agreement with local officials and community leaders to move forward with the project. Full House Resorts has long been eyeing the Fort Wayne market as a potential location for a new casino, given the city’s growing population and economic development.
“We are thrilled to bring a new gaming experience to the residents and visitors of the Fort Wayne area,” said Daniel R. Lee, CEO of Full House Resorts. “Our team has been working closely with local stakeholders to ensure that the new casino will be a positive addition to the community and contribute to the region’s economic growth.”
The new casino will feature a wide range of gaming options, including slot machines, table games, and a sportsbook. In addition, the facility will include a full-service restaurant, bar, and entertainment venue. Full House Resorts is also planning to employ hundreds of local residents at the new casino, providing a significant boost to the area’s economy.
“We are excited to partner with Full House Resorts on this project and bring a world-class gaming destination to the Fort Wayne area,” said Mayor Tom Henry of Fort Wayne. “This new casino will create jobs, generate tax revenue, and attract visitors from across the region, enhancing our city’s reputation as a top entertainment destination.”
The new casino is expected to open its doors in late 2022, pending approval from the Indiana Gaming Commission. Full House Resorts is currently in the process of securing necessary permits and licenses for the project and is working closely with local officials to ensure a smooth and successful development process.
With the addition of the new Fort Wayne-area casino, Full House Resorts is poised to solidify its position as a leading gaming operator in the Midwest. The company already operates several successful casinos in Indiana, Nevada, and Colorado, and the new project represents a significant milestone in its growth strategy.
“We are confident that the new casino in the Fort Wayne area will be a great success and a valuable asset to our portfolio,” said Lee. “We look forward to welcoming guests to the new facility and providing them with a memorable gaming experience in the heart of the Midwest.”
