In October 2018, Pinnacle sold the casino's operating business to Boyd Gaming, along with three other casinos, in connection with Pinnacle's acquisition by Penn National Gaming.^[5] The sale was required by antitrust regulators because Penn National already operated two casinos in the Kansas City area.^[6] The sale included a perpetual license to use the Ameristar name.^[7]
