Las Vegas, NV, October 7, 2026 — Maverick Gaming has announced plans to close two of its casino properties in Elko, Nevada: the Gold County Inn and the Maverick Casino Hotel. The scheduled closure date for both establishments is November 30.

The decision is expected to impact a significant number of employees, with the company stating that 239 workers will be affected by these closures. This development comes as a surprise to some, given previous assurances from the operator. Maverick Gaming had previously indicated that its properties located in rural Nevada would not be subject to the impacts of its recent bankruptcy filing.

The company has suggested that the closures might still be avoided under certain circumstances. Maverick Gaming stated that a potential transfer of ownership or operation of the Elko properties could avert the impending shutdown. Further details regarding any potential transfer negotiations or specific conditions required to prevent the closures were not immediately available.

The specific reasons beyond the bankruptcy filing that led to the decision to close these particular venues were not detailed in the announcement. Information regarding severance packages or relocation assistance for the affected employees has also not been publicly disclosed.
