Carlucci will serve as Harrah's St. Louis' new Vice President at General Manager.
We want your opinion—how do you think Harrah's new ownership will affect the attractions at our local casino?
The Harrah’s Casino sale seems to benefit two casino companies in different ways, STL Today reported Monday. Caesars Entertainment needed a cash infusion, the newspaper said, while Penn National will have a larger share of the St. Louis Market. Penn National already owns the Argosy Casino Alton—making Penn and competitor company Pinnacle Entertainment as owners of two St. Louis area casinos, according to STL Today. But what do you think this means for Maryland Heights and St. Louis gaming in general? Do you expect the local gaming culture to become more homogenized? Or is the Argosy Alton so much fun it needs a sister casino locally? Be sure to let us know in the comments!

I've gone so far as to tell friends and co-workers I would not be one of those folks you read about who continue clocking in a work every day. Not me. If I won the lottery, I'd be traveling the world first class as soon as my lump sum check arrived. No annual payments for me! Problem is, I don't buy lottery tickets. As I purchase my groceries or fill up my tank at the gas station, I just don't think about it. The gift of gaming? So, what if a person could buy lottery tickets online? Would I be more likely to work these purchases into my routine if I could simply log on to a website …
The St. Louis Business Journal reports Harrah's Casino grew by two percent compared to the previous year.
