Par-A-Dice Casino originally opened in 1991 in Peoria proper and relocated two years later. Boyd Gaming bought the riverboat casino and adjoining hotel for $163 million in April 1996 and has successfully renewed its license with the state agency every four years since.

Cori Rutherford, who is Vice President and General Manager at Boyd Gaming and has been with Par-A-Dice since 1994, made the presentation to the IGB on the casino’s behalf. Par-A-Dice Casino has 553 slots, 18 table games and a retail sportsbook operated by FanDuel.
