Boyd Gaming donates over $200,000 to non-profits nationwide

Over 180 organizations took part in Boyd Gaming’s 2024 Wreaths and Trees of Hope competition.

Boyd Gaming has donated more than $200,000 to non-profit organizations nationwide as part of its 17th annual Wreaths and Trees of Hope competition, with participants decorating wreaths or trees at 25 Boyd Gaming properties. The company will also be celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2025. 

Since Trees of Hope first began at Delta Downs Racetrack Casino Hotel in 2007, the annual competition has expanded to Boyd Gaming properties in states such as Nevada, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Louisiana. During its tenure, Boyd Gaming has donated nearly $2m to non-profits across the US. 

A total of 183 non-profits across 10 states participated in the 2024 holiday competition, as winners were decided through more than 100,000 votes cast by Boyd Gaming guests.

Boyd Interactive recently purchased Resorts Digital, the online arm of Resorts Atlantic City, for an undisclosed amount following an announcement from the property’s President, Mark Giannantonio. 

Giannantonio stated on September 23, 2024 that the transaction was finalized on September 1, but that neither company would be revealing the purchase price. 

Good to know: On September 4, locals reports stated that the Pamunkey Indian Tribe will collaborate with Boyd Gaming on a new casino project in Norfolk, Virginia

“We are confident that this transaction will propel Resorts Digital’s proven success over the past decade to a new level through the scale of Boyd Interactive and its market-leading platform,” Giannantonio said in his announcement. 

Boyd added in a statement that the purchase “is consistent with Boyd Gaming’s strategy of building a profitable regional iGaming business integrated with our existing nationwide portfolio.”

Resorts Digital has continued to operate under the sports betting and internet gambling licenses held by Resorts Casino and kept its relationship with other online gambling partners including DraftKings, Penn Gaming, PokerStars and ESPN Bet.
