Ownership[edit]
The Emerald Resort & Casino was majority-owned by London Clubs International, a London-based casino operator that in 2006 became a division of Harrah's Entertainment (later Caesars Entertainment). Later, on May 2019, Caesars announced the sale of their 70% interest (the remaining 30% stake is owned by local minority partners) to Peermont Hotels, a Johannesburg-based hospitality and entertainment company.[2][3] The deal was initially expected to be completed within the third quarter of 2019. As of July 2020, the Emerald Resort & Casino is still a Caesars property.[4][5]

- There's nothing like gambling at the Emerald Isle Casino! I love the theme of an all Pennies locals place. They have a large selection of new and old slots, along with progressive slots. There are USB charging stations at the bar. We also got drinks at the bar, and they were much larger and stronger than other casinos normally serve.
