Mr. Burns' Casino

Mr. Burns' Casino was opened and operated by Mr. Burns, following Springfield's decision to legalize gambling to boost its economy.^[1] After failing to find a suitable theme or name for the casino, Mr. Burns simply decided to name the casino after himself and use the image of himself as a merman for the company mascot. It was located on the waterfront. Marge Simpson developed a gambling addiction when she visited this casino in 1993.^[1] When it first opened, Homer took a job there as a blackjack dealer and became wildly popular in it because he was such a poor player that the house lost every time and all his gamblers won.^[1]

Demolition[]

The casino was later demolished by an explosion in order to make room for a Casino-themed family hotel (with Mr. Burns' staff being retrained to act as staff in Burns' chain of nursing homes). The reason behind it specifically being demolished by an explosion was because of a mix-up behind the demolition crew in regards to setting it (it was supposed to be set for implosion). This led to a cloud of dust flying through Springfield. Homer when trying to get Ned Flanders to embrace the wild side for a change due to a mid-life crisis initially intended to take him over to the casino, although he eventually changed his mind to Las Vegas after Flanders reminded Homer of its demolished state.^[2] Lisa wondered why they took the casino along when they were forced to move the town elsewhere, with Homer stating there was a reason for it, although he never got the chance to explain it due to them starting the demolition process.
