SHREVEPORT, LA – Bally’s Shreveport is gearing up to celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2025, marking a quarter-century of entertainment excellence and community engagement. Since opening as Hollywood Casino on December 20, 2000, the property has become a staple in the Shreveport-Bossier City entertainment scene, earning accolades such as Best Overall Casino in Strictly Slots Magazine and Best Casino in Casino Player Magazine.
A Rich History of Transformation
The property’s journey began in February 2000, when tugboats navigated a riverboat through the Red River to its new home, setting the stage for Hollywood Casino’s grand debut. Over the years, the casino has undergone several transformations:
- 2005: Rebranded as Eldorado Casino, signaling a new era of growth.
- 2020: Acquired by Twin River Worldwide Holdings, now Bally’s Corporation, marking a renewed commitment to innovation.
