The casino will now close at 4 a.m. on those days instead of 6 a.m., reopening at 8 a.m. "This is a cost-control measure necessitated by the expansion of video gaming in our market," said spokesman David Strow of Boyd Gaming Corp., the Las Vegas-based company that owns the Par-A-Dice. Last month, 40 Par-A-Dice employees were laid off because of the impact of video gaming, said Strow, adding that since the advent of video gaming in Illinois three years ago, riverboat revenue has declined by 23 percent.
