Tropicana Casinos company history timeline
After losing control of its largest property, the Tropicana Atlantic City, the new company was quickly forced into bankruptcy in May 2008.
The rest of the company emerged from bankruptcy on March 8, 2010 as Tropicana Entertainment Inc., under the leadership of investor Carl Icahn.
In March 2011, Tropicana sold the Horizon Casino in Vicksburg to a partnership of Tangent Gaming and Great Southern Investment Group, who renamed it as the Grand Station Hotel and Casino.
In 2012, the company closed the Jubilee casino and consolidated its operations into the Lighthouse Point casino, which was expanded and rebranded as the Trop Casino Greenville.
In May 2013, Tropicana agreed to sell the River Palms for $7 million to M1 Gaming, owner of Boomtown Reno, but the sale never went through.
In March 2014, it was announced that the company‘s lease to operate the Horizon Casino Resort had expired on March 31, 2014 and was not renewed.
In July 2014, Tropicana instead agreed to sell the River Palms for $6.75 million to the owners of Dotty's.
