MARQUETTE, Iowa (KCRG) – A historic riverboat casino is rebranding to Bally’s Marquette as part of a $21 million landside transformation project, with doors set to open Friday.

The casino is set to open on March 13 at 100 Anti Monopoly St. The project included selling the riverboat and moving to a new landside facility. The casino also introduced new dining and entertainment options and upgraded arrival with direct access from the parking lot.

Bally’s Marquette will offer slots, table games and a sportsbook. Dining and drink options include the 1994 Sports Bar, Sidecar Bar, Benchfront Coffee and Riverside Grill. The casino also plans to partner with local food and beverage vendors and introduce new dining concepts.

The move has generated nearly 80 new jobs, according to a release. The property cited a long-term commitment to regional tourism and economic growth.

“The official transformation to Bally’s Marquette represents a defining moment for our team, guests and the community,” said Robin Corbeil, general manager. “With our move ashore complete, Bally’s Marquette delivers a modern gaming experience, expanded dining offerings and a welcoming atmosphere that honors our riverfront roots while positioning us for the future.”

Bally’s Marquette is hosting a grand opening celebration Friday that includes live music, a ribbon-cutting ceremony, and other unspecified events.
