Bally’s Stock Falls Amid Debt Concerns
Shares of Bally’s stock plunged more than 26% following disclosures in the company second quarter financial filings that raised substantial doubt about its ability to maintain debt covenants over the coming year. The market selloff dropped equity prices down to $10.31, extending year to date declines to 38% as investors focused on corporate leverage over positive revenue growth.

Atlantic City could lose more than 8,100 casino jobs and nearly $1.3 billion in annual revenue over the next decade due to rising regional competition, according to a recent economic report released by the Atlantic County Economic Alliance.

Big Vegas Updates from the Strip to Fremont!
Big moves are shaking up Sin City from Fremont Street to the south end of the Strip. We have huge Vegas updates, including another new resort that’s being planned (and this one could actually happen). Plus some major changes to the Grand Bazaar Shops outside of the Horseshoe, but we begin in downtown, and more specifically the Downtown Grand, a property that has been in receivership since defaulting on its loans. Now, Vegas Ventures has agreed to purchase the resort, even putting down a $2.7 million deposit. They are not a gambling company, so expect Bit Street Gaming to continue…
