History[edit]
The Plantation Casino first sought to open in 1976 as a partnership between John P. Richards; his son, John Leo Richards; and William and Joan Schnack.[3] The state Gaming Control Board initially recommended that the license be denied because of the elder Richards's alleged associations with underworld figures.[3] The casino began operations in 1978.[4]
William Schnack, the casino's president, received a gaming license suspension in 1989 for using counterfeit coins in a casino slot machine.[5] Months later, the Richards-Schnack Development Co. agreed to sell the casino to United Gaming (later Alliance Gaming) for $9.5 million.[4]
The property underwent a grand re-opening in August 1997, taking on its new name as Rail City Casino.[6]
In May 2004, Sands Regent bought the casino from Alliance Gaming for $37.9 million.[7][8] Plans for an $8.5-million expansion were announced in 2005,[9] and were updated in March 2006 with an increased budget of $13.8 million.[10] The casino became part of Herbst Gaming (now Affinity Gaming) in January 2007, when Herbst acquired Sands Regent.[11]
