Ameristar complains that competing Sugar Creek casino would be bad for Ameristar

Ameristar Casinos has released an “analysis” that predicts financial doom should state regulators approve a casino for Sugar Creek. But it’s hard to take seriously when the people doing the analyzing would be the ones doomed by the competition.

State regulators are weighing where, if anywhere, they should allow a

13th casino, which would hold the Missouri’s last gambling license. The proposed casinos still in the running are in St. Louis, Cape

Girardeau and Sugar Creek, 10 miles east of Kansas City.
