• February 13, 2009 Big Layoffs in Shreveport: Despite a 4% increase in casino revenue during 2008, casinos in the Bossier City/Shreveport area shed 27% of their workforce. Flacks for Eldorado Resorts, Harrah's Entertainment and Boomtown Casino did not respond to the Shreveport Times' queries, but Boyd Gaming's Rob Stillwell said layoffs at the Shreveport Sam's Town were not significant while DiamondJacks said it made no layoffs last year and planned to make none this year either.
