It is owned and operated by Boyd Gaming.

First known as Harrah's Shreveport, the hotel was purchased in 2004 by Boyd Gaming from Harrah's Entertainment.

Harrah's sold this casino after acquiring Horseshoe Gaming Holding Corporation.

The casino opened under Boyd's Sam's Town brand on May 20, 2004, becoming the fifth casino to operate under that name.

The 30,000 square feet (2,800 m2) casino features 1100 gaming machines and 29 table games for Blackjack, Roulette, Three Card Poker, and Mississippi Stud Poker.
