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. The reason behind it 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.[2]
