History


The company was formed by Cleveland real estate developer Jeffrey Jacobs.[2] In 1995, it announced a joint venture with Black Hawk Gaming & Development to build a casino hotel in Black Hawk, Colorado.[3] Jacobs was also reported to be exploring gaming opportunities in 10 other states and South Africa and Aruba.[2] Later that year, the company purchased 50 percent of Colonial Downs, a horse track under development in New Kent, Virginia, for $5 million, and was negotiating to purchase River Downs, an Ohio horse track.[4][5]


In 1996, the company made a $9 million investment in the Boardwalk Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.[6]


The Lodge Casino, the company's $73-million joint venture with Black Hawk Gaming, opened in 1998, with Jacobs owning a 25 percent share.[7]


In 2002, Jeffrey Jacobs and his father, Richard Jacobs, consolidated their gaming holdings into a reorganized Jacobs Entertainment, which simultaneously purchased all outstanding shares of Black Hawk Gaming & Development and Colonial Holdings.[8] The combined company at that point owned the Lodge Casino and Gilpin Casino in Black Hawk; the Gold Dust West Casino in Reno, Nevada; Colonial Downs racetrack; and six truck stop casinos in Louisiana.[8]


The company applied for a license to operate a casino in Orange County, Indiana in 2003, but withdrew its bid in the face of stiff competition.[9][10] It also made plans to develop a casino in D'Iberville, Mississippi, but pulled out of the project in 2004.[11]


Jacobs held discussions about buying New York racetrack Vernon Downs in 2005, and Casino Aztar Caruthersville in Missouri in 2007, but neither acquisition materialized.[12][13]


In 2006, Jacobs spent over $2 million in support of an Ohio ballot measure that would have authorized the company to open a casino at the Nautica Entertainment Complex, owned by Jeffrey Jacobs.[14] The measure failed.[15]


Jacobs purchased the Piñon Plaza casino in Carson City, Nevada in 2006 for $14.5 million, and rebranded it as the Gold Dust West Carson City.[16] The company opened its third casino under the Gold Dust West name in Elko, Nevada in 2007.[17]


In 2008 and 2009, the company bought out the shares of Richard Jacobs, leaving his son as the sole owner.[18]


The company acquired the Nautica Entertainment Complex from Jeffrey Jacobs in phases between 2008 and 2012.[19][20][21] It then purchased the Greater Cleveland Aquarium, located in the complex, in 2014.[22]


Jacobs offered itself for sale to MTR Gaming in 2013 for $145 million in stock, but withdrew the offer after MTR agreed to be acquired by Eldorado Resorts.[23][24] The Jacobses had begun purchasing shares in MTR Gaming in 2006, eventually accumulating an 18 percent stake in the company.[23][25] Later in the year, Jacobs made a competing offer to buy MTR, and then withdrew it after Eldorado increased its offer.[24][26]


Since 2008, Jacobs has pursued plans to develop a casino in Diamondhead, Mississippi.[27] The state gaming commission rejected the proposal in March 2017, but the company filed an appeal.[28]


Jacobs purchased the Sands Regency Casino Hotel in Reno, a few blocks away from the Gold Dust West casino, for $30 million in July 2017.[29][30][31] The company soon began a $500-million plan to redevelop the corridor between the two casinos with mixed-use developments and retail and entertainment venues.[32][33]


In April 2018, Jacobs sold Colonial Downs, which had been closed since 2014. The track was sold to Revolutionary Racing, a Chicago-based group of investors and gaming executives, for a price of more than $20 million.[34]
