Truckee Gaming advances casino redevelopment in Nevada with Poker Palace overhaul
Truckee Gaming is preparing to relaunch the shuttered Poker Palace in North Las Vegas as Club Fortune Casino North in mid‑April following a comprehensive renovation and a change of ownership.
Key Takeaways:
- Truckee Gaming plans to reopen Poker Palace as Club Fortune Casino in April after a major casino redevelopment
- The redevelopment includes updated interiors, a new poker room and a sportsbook
- Rehiring displaced staff and focusing on low-stakes poker to gauge market demand
The Nevada Gaming Control Board recommended the Nevada Gaming Commission approve Truckee’s reopening plan.
The remodel will strip and rebuild large sections of the interior, reconfigure the entrance and service areas and add a refreshed poker room and a Boomer’s Sportsbook.
Casino redevelopment reshapes property footprint
The project, funded from property cash flow, aims to restore the venue’s low‑stakes poker identity while updating its food and beverage footprint, including an expanded kitchen and quick‑serve seating.
Truckee Gaming, which operates multiple Nevada outlets, plans to give rehired employees priority, according to Yogonet.
Speaking to PokerNewsDaily, Truckee Gaming CEO Ferenc Szony said, “It really needed a dramatic change.” He described a full interior overhaul to create a contemporary guest environment.
The casino redevelopment will test demand in Las Vegas after recent closures and a visitor slump. It could influence small‑market casino consolidation and poker supply dynamics across the valley.
