Bob Riley continues a campaign to shut down gambling halls statewide.Ĭountry Crossing will include a 10,000-seat amphitheater, the Bluegrass Hollow RV park, three restaurants, a western saloon and even the George Jones Possum Holler Bed and Breakfast when it opens here Dec. It may be the biggest gamble in Alabama - an $87 million casino and country music destination rising out of the Wiregrass, even as Gov. Bob Riley has his way, gambling will be barred at Country Crossing and other establishments across the state. Ronnie Gilley, the man behind the Houston County development, says the project will be ready to open Dec.
