Boyd Gaming seeks to build a $160M land-based casino in East Peoria, sparking opposition from Peoria over legal and agreement violations.
Boyd Gaming proposes a $160 million land-based casino at East Peoria’s Par-A-Dice site, built above a manmade water basin filled with Illinois River water, calling it "riverboat modernization."
The project would expand gaming space and add amenities, but Peoria city officials oppose it, arguing it violates a 1991 agreement requiring land-based casinos in the region to be built in Peoria and that the design doesn’t meet riverboat gambling laws.
They claim the move undermines their economic interests and may lead to legal action, while East Peoria supports the plan, citing shared gaming revenue.
The Illinois Gaming Board will review the proposal amid ongoing disputes.
