The buyer previously exercised its option to extend the closing of the purchase of the Dania Beach, Florida, property south of Fort Lauderdale to a date on or before Tuesday 29th November. "Since the closing did not occur within that timeframe, Boyd Gaming is exercising its right pursuant to the terms of the agreement to terminate the transaction," Boyd said in a statement.
Boyd said it will continue to operate the property. Dania is a pari-mutuel wagering jai-alai facility with some 47 acres of related land. It has live jai-alai, a poker room and simulcast wagering on Miami jai-alai events and thoroughbred, harness and dog racing.
