The site will be shuttered at the end of January, while the adjacent hotel will stay open, the Las Vegas-based company said. The move will affect about 150 employees. Caesars will continue to operate the Horseshoe Tunica casino in that market.
While casino closings are rare, Caesars has shut underperforming sites in the past. And a more crowded industry means that gambling locations often aren’t sure-fire moneymakers. It closed the Showboat in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and the Harrah’s Tunica in 2014.
The Roadhouse Casino property was one of eight in the Tunica market and the smallest in terms of casino floor space, according to state gaming commission statisti
I wonder what is to become of their two 1c 9/6 JoB machines they had last time I was there. I'm guessing the scrap heap -- they were very outdated. I think they may have been the last of CET's 9/6 JoB machines that still gave out 1 credit for $10 coin-in.

Tahoe still does I think. I'm gonna miss this place. Those machines, the decent Double STP for nickels, and most of all, the employees. Their service was a big reason I played there often.
Not surprised honestly as the Roadhouse generally had all the "older" slots and the selection of table games was minimal as compared to Gold Strike and Horseshoe. Was always odd to see tables at the two other casinos packed with people waiting on a Saturday night and the Roadhouse have empty tables.
