Committed to Building Casino & Resort Destinations

Wild Rose Entertainment is a new kind of gaming company created by entrepreneurs with a fire and talent for building and running businesses. Launched in 2005 when the state of Iowa lifted its moratorium on new gaming licenses, Wild Rose earned its industry stripes as one of four companies selected for the expansion.

Its first property, Wild Rose Casino & Resort in Emmetsburg, opened in May 2006. Later that year, Wild Rose received another gaming license from the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission based on its acquisition of an underperforming riverboat in Clinton, Iowa. Wild Rose retired the riverboat and replaced it with a full-scale casino, hotel and convention center. Both Wild Rose properties have posted year-over-year revenue increases while providing significant funds for economic development and civic activities in their respective communities.

The Future

Wild Rose seeks to expand its operations and is actively reviewing opportunities. With core competencies in casino management, finance and marketing, Wild Rose is able to acquire existing casinos and gaming properties with pari-mutuel track operations as well as secure new licenses to develop casino resorts.
