History
The Mark Twain Casino opened July 21, 2005 and was first operated by Grace Entertainment.[2] Mark Twain Casino and RV Park was one of three Midwest casinos acquired from Grace Entertainment in 2005 for $287 million.[3] The other casinos were St. Jo Frontier Casino in St. Joseph, Missouri and Lakeside Hotel and Casino in Osceola, Iowa. When Herbst Gaming took over, the casino's name was changed to Terrible's Mark Twain Casino. In May 2011, Herbst Gaming changed its name to Affinity Gaming, and the casino's name reverted back to its original name, dropping "Terrible's". Michael Silberling was named CEO of Affinity Gaming in August 2014. [4]
