Maverick Announces Two More Casino Closures in Washington
Maverick Gaming is closing two more Washington casinos and cutting 132 jobs as part of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy restructuring.Summary
Maverick Gaming has announced the closure of two additional casinos in Washington state, the Silver Dollar Mill Creek Casino in Mill Creek and the Crazy Moose Mountlake Casino in Mountlake Terrace, resulting in the elimination of 132 jobs. The layoffs are scheduled to take effect on July 31, as reported by KIRO 7 News Seattle. This move is part of the Kirkland-based operator's ongoing financial restructuring under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, which it entered in July 2025. The company has disclosed multiple rounds of workforce reductions over the past two months, totaling 188 positions across various properties. Maverick previously closed the Silver Dollar SeaTac Casino after a proposed sale failed. The company has maintained that bankruptcy protection provides a framework for restructuring obligations while preserving operations. Maverick attributes some of its operating difficulties to a decision by the Washington Gaming Commissioners to shut down a centralized surveillance petition, which it claims has hindered its ability to compete effectively. Despite these closures, Maverick remains a significant regional gaming operator with 27 properties across Washington, Nevada, and Colorado.
