Haitzmann and Hoetzinger commented: "We finished 2022 with record net operating revenue and adjusted EBITDA despite disruptions and temporary closures at our Caruthersville property due to low water levels in the Mississippi River.
“In December 2022, we completed the relocation of the Caruthersville casino from the riverboat and barge to the land-based pavilion where we will operate the casino until the casino and hotel development project is complete. Construction on this project and our Cape Girardeau hotel project are on schedule to be completed in 2024.”
