Casino in Sparks sold
SPARKS -- Baldini's Sports Casino in Sparks has been sold by the Baldwin family to a group of investors from Missoula, Mont., according to an official involved in the deal.
Grant Lincoln, an investor and president and CEO of United Coin Machine Co., said the group took ownership at midnight Wednesday.
The new owners will lease the casino operations that include 600 slot machines to Las Vegas-based United Coin, which was approved by the Nevada Gaming Commission earlier this month to run the casino.
Lincoln said current management will remain intact and no layoffs are planned.
"We don't plan any significant changes," Lincoln said. "We bought it for what it is.
"We are not coming in from Montana to try and reinvent the wheel. We like the facility exactly how it is and we intend to be good shepherds."
Baldini's was founded by Donald Baldwin, former owner of a supermarket chain.
