LAS VEGAS, Jan. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Boyd Gaming Corporation (NYSE:BYD) today announced that Blue Chip Casino Hotel opened its new casino this morning, completing the final stage of the property's $170 million expansion.

It has been our most successful riverboat operation, and we look forward to building on that success in the future."
The new Blue Chip offers 65,000 square feet of casino action on one level with 2,170 slot machines and 51 table games. The pavilion adjoins the 184-room Blue Chip Hotel and features an elegant steakhouse, action buffet, deli and coffee station, as well as a live-entertainment lounge at the main entrance of the casino, and a four story parking garage.
