Maverick NV LLC Issues WARN Notices for Permanent Closure of Two Elko Casinos
Two Maverick casino properties in Elko, Nevada, look set to close on November 30, 2026, potentially affecting around 239 employees according to WARN notices. The shutdowns are intended to be permanent, but Maverick NV LLC is involved in bankruptcy proceedings and a new owner or operator could prevent the shutdowns. Eric Persson intends to acquire eight Washington casinos where notices relate to transfers rather than permanent closures.
SCCG Take — Bankruptcy filings flag regional assets as transfer candidates. Operators should track the November 30, 2026 deadline for Nevada intervention opportunities.
Maverick NV LLC filed WARN notices for the permanent closure of two casino properties in Elko, Nevada, effective November 30, 2026. The filings cover 239 employees in total.
The Maverick Casino Hotel – Elko would affect 198 employees. The Gold Country Inn and Casino on Idaho Street would affect 41. Leticia Flores, human resources director at Maverick NV LLC, signed the notices addressed to the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation’s Rapid Response team.
Bankruptcy Status Leaves Room for Ownership Change
Maverick NV LLC is currently involved in bankruptcy proceedings. The company described both shutdowns as permanent. A new owner or operator could still assume control of either property and prevent or delay the closures, though no timetable has been given.
Washington Acquisitions Provide Portfolio Contrast
Maverick Gaming owner Eric Persson intends to acquire eight Washington casinos that received similar WARN notices for November 30, 2026. Persson stated the listed terminations there relate to transfers between companies rather than permanent closures. The named properties are Great American Casino in Everett, Chip’s Casino, Macau Casino and Palace Casino in Lakewood, All Star Casino in Silverdale, Casino Caribbean in Yakima, Crazy Moose Casino in Pasco, and Coyote Bobs Casino in Kennewick.
As reported by Focus Gaming News, the Nevada situation remains in flux. The filings produce immediate workforce notifications while the bankruptcy process creates a window for asset transfers. This changes the local employment baseline in Elko and surfaces acquisition targets for other operators. What to watch is whether any buyer emerges before the November 30, 2026 deadline.
