Revenue soars for riverboat operator

Third quarter revenue and cash flow soared for Ameristar Casinos Inc. of Las Vegas, operator of riverboat casinos in the South and Midwest and a small casino in Northern Nevada.
Ameristar today reported quarterly sales of $162.7 million versus $85 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase is attributed to Ameristar's purchase of two Missouri riverboats from Station Casinos Inc. Ameristar also sold its Reserve property in Henderson to Station.
