Backers from Davenport to the Meskwaki Nation press Cedar Rapids as a new Cedar Crossing casino could boost state revenue, while opponents warn a Linn County license would cannibalize eastern Iowa casinos, shrink local budgets, and drain existing venues. The Cedar Rapids project seeks a $275 million facility with 700 slots, 22 tables, a 1,500 seat venue, and riverfront redevelopment.
