Penn National Gaming, which owns Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge, and Pinnacle Entertainment, which plans to build a casino resort on River Road, could be in the hunt to buy Ameristar Casinos Inc., according to the Associated Press.

Motley Fool analyst Jeff Hwang says while Pinnacle may not be able to buy Ameristar outright, a merger would make sense because it would create a strong regional network of casinos and a good combination of corporate talent.
