Country Crossing casino with RV park opens in Alabama

Tracy Lawrence, Darryl Worley, Lorrie Morgan and John Anderson will perform at the Country Crossing three-day grand opening event Jan. 15-17. The casino is near Dothan, Alabama in the southeast corner of the state.

"As we've said all along, Country Crossing will provide first-class country music entertainment, and this lineup is just the beginning," says Ronnie Gilley, president, Ronnie Gilley Entertainment and developer of Country Crossing.


Attractions include celebrity themed restaurants, a 78-space RV park and a casino with an electronic bingo entertainment center. Alabama's casinos don't have slot machines and table games. Instead, they feature electronic bingo machines, which resemble slot machines with their flashing lights and quick play. The experience can be much the same as slots.
