Argosy Casino Hotel & Spa

What Argosy Casino Hotel & Spa does

Argosy Casino Hotel & Spa is a regional casino resort located at 777 N.W. Argosy Casino Parkway in Riverside, Missouri, serving the Kansas City metropolitan area since 1994. The property operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PENN Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: PENN), a publicly traded gaming operator with 40+ casino and hotel properties across 17 states. The Argosy asset combines a 258-room AAA Four Diamond hotel (Deluxe King, Deluxe Queen, and Deluxe Suite configurations) with a gaming floor featuring more than 1,100 slot machines, 38 live-dealer table games, and a high-limit room, alongside five distinct dining venues (Gram & Dun Argosy, Parisi Café, Red Lotus Asian Kitchen, The Sportsbook Restaurant & Bar, and VIP Lounge) and over 17,000 square feet of meetings and events space.

The core technology stack is built around the PENN Play loyalty platform, which unifies Tier Points, PENN Cash currency, and Real Time Rewards across gaming, hotel, dining, retail, and sports betting. The Sportsbook Restaurant & Bar — opened December 1, 2025, coinciding with Missouri legal sports betting — adds self-service wagering kiosks, a 41-foot video wall, and integration with theScore BET mobile sportsbook. PENN Play extends externally through integrations with Ticketmaster (event ticket redemption) and Choice Hotels (Tier Point earning and Choice Privilege point conversion), plus the PENN Marketplace redemption portal and PENN Play Casino social gaming site.

Revenue is generated transactionally across five streams: casino gaming (slots and table play), hotel accommodations (per-room unit pricing plus $12 nightly resort fee), food and beverage (unit-priced across all venues), sports betting (retail kiosks plus mobile), and loyalty currency economics (PENN Cash redemption across gaming, hotel, dining, retail, and partner channels). Distribution is predominantly direct-to-consumer through the physical property and own website booking with best rate guarantee, augmented by mobile channels (PENN Play app, theScore BET, social casino). The target customer base spans individual gaming enthusiasts, hotel guests, sports bettors, dining customers, and B2B event planners — with no single named enterprise customer accounting for material revenue, indicating a broad, distributed retail model.
