Around 344 workers will lose their jobs, the discover said.

Affinity Gaming and its principal proprietor, Z Capital, had been working the properties for 15 years, but vacationer numbers have cratered as casinos open nearer to home in California and COVID-19 demolished the industry.
Primm has been a “significant cash drain and management distraction of Affinity for many years,” said Melissa Krantz, spokeswoman for the company, in a assertion.
It was beforehand reported that LV Petroleum — a Las Vegas-based company that operates 84 truck stops across 34 states — was probably in taking over the resorts, casinos and other facilities in Primm, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
According to Clemetson, the conversations with LV Petroleum have been held “early in the process. At the same time, we’ve spoken to other groups who are very well respected, particularly in the gaming, hotel and fuel businesses.”
