President of Illinois gambling corporation quits

Sunday, July 16, 2000 | 1:24 a.m.

Canfora, 41, left to pursue other interests, Horseshoe said in a statement Friday.

Canfora was named president in December 1999 after the company acquired the Empress Entertainment Corp. riverboat casinos in Joliet and Hammond, Ind.

Horseshoe said a successor to Canfora had not been named yet. In the interim, it said, Roger Wagner, Horseshoe's chief operating officer, would fulfill the duties as Horseshoe's president.

Horshoe owns a casino in Bossier City, La., and has applied for Louisiana's 15th riverboat casino license.
