Just got back from Horseshoe Cleveland. In the Diamond Lounge had discussion with another couple whose LV host told them that Rewards program would be totally revamped as the Casino would no longer be a "Horseshoe" brand as Rock Ohio would take over the whole operation and divorce itself from Caesars. This would also apply to Cincinnati. Remember in February this year Rock Ohio bought out Caesars 20% of their joint venture in Ohio Casinos. This was confirmed later by a reliable source at the casino. Look for announcement early next week. Also know that Rock Ohio is in partnership with Caesars in new Baltimore Horseshoe casino. The Ohio properties were excluded from the BK filing by Caesars.

BTW Rock Ohio chairman is Dan Gilbert, founder of Quicken Loans and majority owner in Cleveland Cavaliers. The guy is a mover and shaker. I believe this would be a positive change coming to Cleveland that would improve the slot player's experience and Diamond Lounge operations for sure.

Rock Ohio is an affiliate of Rock Gaming and Rock Gaming has interest in Greektown Casino in Detroit. Maybe all of this will be tied together. Dan Gilbert moved (or is moving) his Quicken Loan headquarter to Detroit.

Changes are a coming, that's for sure. Good or bad?? Guess we'll see.

Anybody hearing anything about this??
