(Riverside, IA) -- The feedback members of the Iowa Racing & Gaming Commission will hear tomorrow about the proposed Linn County casino will be different than what they heard Wednesday.

Commission members toured the casino site and heard positive endorsements of the project in Cedar Rapids.

Friday, they'll meet in Burlington with representatives of the Riverside Casino. They're petitioning the Commission to deny the application arguing the 2021 Linn County gaming vote was worded wrong, and that a new casino will take business away from other casinos in eastern Iowa.

A decision on the Linn County casino license application is expected in early February.
