Caesars Southern Indiana has a new ownership team as the North Carolina-based Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) Holdings celebrates its recent acquisition of the casino.

EBCI Holdings had a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday in honor of the acquisition of the 110,000-square-foot facility in Elizabeth. Caesars Southern Indiana is EBCI Holdings’ first casino acquisition outside of North Carolina.

Although there is a new ownership team, the Caesars branding and the Caesars Rewards loyalty program will remain in place.

The new owners say all of the casino’s nearly 900 employees were retained in their current positions, including Caesars Southern Indiana General Manager Brad Seigel and the senior leadership team. The casino continues to look for additional staffing.
