President Casino Laclede's Landing was a stationary riverboat casino in Saint Louis, Missouri owned by Pinnacle Entertainment.
History
The President Casino opened in 1994 on the SS Admiral shortly after Missouri legalized riverboat casinos. When it opened, it included 100 table games and 150 video poker machines within its 70,000 square feet of gaming space, as early gaming regulations required games to be of skill.[1] It was owned by the now-defunct President Casinos which had other riverboat casinos in the mid-1990s. Isle of Capri Casinos attempted to buy the President Casino unsuccessfully,[2] but later, Pinnacle Entertainment bought the property for $46 million. The deal, completed on December 21, 2006, occurred at the same time Pinnacle was building its Lumière Place casino just adjacent to the President.[3]
