Caesars Entertainment Celebrates Completion of $435M Transformation of Caesars New Orleans
Caesars Entertainment celebrated the completion of its $435 million transformation of Harrah’s to Caesars New Orleans on Tuesday, Oct. 22. The raucous event began outside of the casino on Canal St. with a ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, Caesars Entertainment President & COO Anthony Carano and Caesars New Orleans General Manager, Samir Mowad, where they, alongside Caesar, joined an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a procession into the casino. Caesars New Orleans Team Members and Mayor Latoya Cantrell joined the celebration to commemorate the historic occasion.
“We’re incredibly proud to officially introduce Caesars to New Orleans. From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” said Anthony Carano, President & COO of Caesars Entertainment.
The ceremony kicked off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court and a firework show to officially welcome Caesars to New Orleans. Following the ceremony, the second-line band led revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where partygoers enjoyed a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans” featuring bites from all six restaurants at the property. Elemental entertainers performed throughout the room, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps and showgirls, treating guests to an authentic Big Easy experience.
“This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our Team Members and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation,” said Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans.
As the area’s only land-based casino, Caesars New Orleans offers guests the full Caesars experience. Now boasting nearly 800 hotel rooms between its two hotel towers – the new Caesars Tower and the original hotel tower on Poydras Street – guests can stay and play in luxury. The destination provides an extensive gaming experience with more than 150,000 square feet of upgraded gaming and dining space featuring more than 1300 slot machines, 120 table games, a 20-table World Series of Poker Room, three outdoor gaming courtyards and a 5700-square-foot state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook. Additionally, the property offers a bevy of culinary experiences, including Louisiana’s first Nobu, Emeril’s Brasserie by local favorite Emeril Lagasse, a celebrity-driven food hall featuring options by Bobby Flay, Buddy Valastro and Nina Compton and the new luxurious center bar dubbed Octavia.

1X2 Network launches iCasino content in West Virginia with Rush Street, Caesars and Fanatics
1X2 Network has launched in West Virginia, marking its second regulated US market. The supplier said a first set of games went live on 3 June 2026 with Rush Street, Caesars Entertainment and Fanatics Casino.
The company entered North America in Michigan two years ago and said it is expanding US distribution off the back of performance there. 1X2 Network did not disclose commercial terms or rollout timelines by operator.
Among the initial titles going live in West Virginia are 3 Hot Chilli Peppers and 3 Porky Banks Hold and Win. The company said both games have been “ranked as top performers in North America” and are aimed at West Virginia’s “core 30-39 year old iGaming demographic.”
Kevin Reid, CEO at 1X2 Network, said: “Buoyed by the performance of our top tier titles in Michigan, we felt the time was right to step up our US expansion plans, and in Rush Street, Caesars Entertainment and Fanatics Casino, we couldn’t think of three better operators to debut our launch into West Virginia.
“Having already worked with these brands in the Great Lakes State, we’re confident that games like 3 Hot Chilli Peppers and 3 Porky Banks Hold and Win will deliver the same great results for them in West Virginia. We also have deals in the pipeline to go live with a number of other big-name operators which will further cement our presence in North America.”

1X2 Network officially launches in West Virginia
Market-leading software provider accelerates US expansion plans as fan favourite games go live in the Mountain State with Rush Street, Caesars Entertainment and Fanatics Casino.
1X2 Network, the rapidly-expanding software provider and aggregator known in the industry for its top performing icasino content, has announced it has officially entered its second US state after launching a first set of games with Rush Street, Caesars Entertainment and Fanatics Casino.
Having made its North American debut in Michigan two years ago, 1X2 Network has already established a strong rapport with a number of US operators due to the strong performance of its titles, and this will undoubtedly help the provider get off to a winning start in the Mountain State.
Among the first wave of releases to feature at Rush Street, Caesars and Fanatics will be 3 Hot Chilli Peppers and 3 Porky Banks Hold and Win, which have already been ranked as top performers in North America, with both games being perfectly tailored to West Virginia’s core 30-39 year old iGaming demographic.
Moving forward, 1X2 Network will continue launching titles from its 2026 roadmap on both platforms to bring West Virginia players an even greater choice of quality iCasino content, and the provider also has plans to launch with several more big-name brands in the state before the year is out.
With the WV entry being another major milestone for 1X2 Network’s expansion in North America, the provider will continue to develop games that resonate with players across the US and Canada, and is already targeting New Jersey, Connecticut and Alberta as potential new markets in future.
Kevin Reid, CEO at 1X2 Network, said: “Buoyed by the performance of our top tier titles in Michigan, we felt the time was right to step up our US expansion plans, and in Rush Street, Caesars Entertainment and Fanatics Casino, we couldn’t think of three better operators to debut our launch into West Virginia.
