Dover Downs Purchase Complete

Don Rush

The deal is just about done.

Twin River Worldwide Holding completed the transaction to buy Dover Downs on March 29th.

WBOC reports that the company’s president and CEO George Papanier said it is not clear if staff will be reduced at the casino.

The company said that it hoped its plans for Dover Downs will result in the casino’s growth and increase employment opportunities.

The television reports that in 2018 it only netted a profit of $30-thousand.
