Herbst Gaming[edit]
Herbst Gaming was a slot route operator and casino company owned by Jerry Herbst's three sons. It was formed in 1987 to service slot machines in the Terrible Herbst stores. In 1997, it began opening and acquiring full-fledged casinos, many of which were branded as Terrible's casinos. The company went into Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2009, and the Herbst family gave up its ownership stake. Herbst Gaming subsequently changed its name to Affinity Gaming and dropped its use of the Terrible's name.

JETT Gaming is a slot route operator and casino company formed by Jerry Herbst in 2011, after the family lost its ownership of Herbst Gaming.[3] In 2012, JETT bought out the slot route contracts for Terrible Herbst stores from the former Herbst Gaming, and also acquired the Terrible's casino in Searchlight, Nevada.[4][5] In 2015, JETT bought the Gold Strike Hotel and Gambling Hall in Jean, Nevada from MGM Resorts International for $12 million;[6][7] the property was later rebranded as Terrible's Hotel & Casino.[8] The company also acquired a second casino in Searchlight, the Searchlight Nugget, in 2015.[9]

History[edit]
Continental (1981-99)[edit]
The Continental Hotel and Casino opened in 1981.
In 1996, Crowne Ventures agreed to buy the hotel for $35 million.[1] They planned to convert the property into a nostalgia-themed resort to complement their 'Back to the 50s' catalog business.[1] But that deal fell through when Crowne fell into bankruptcy.[2] The Continental itself declared bankruptcy in 1998, and was foreclosed on and closed by American Realty Trust in March 1999.[2]
Terrible's (2000-12)[edit]
The Herbst family of Terrible Herbst saw an opportunity to open their first gaming property in Las Vegas, as the Continental was too small for locals casino operators Station Casinos and Coast Casinos, but too big for other, smaller slot route operators to acquire.[3] The hotel was sold to E-T-T Gaming, the Herbsts' gaming division (now Affinity Gaming), in November 1999.[3] The Herbsts demolished the building interior, but kept its outer shell.[2] The cost of acquisition and renovation was $65 million.[4] It reopened in December 2000 as Terrible's Hotel and Casino.
Silver Sevens (2013-present)[edit]
In mid-2013, after embarking on an 18-month renovation that included remodeled rooms and main-floor upgrades, among other improvements, Affinity Gaming chose to rename the casino Silver Sevens, reflecting the new look.[5]
