The Casino Queen in East St. Louis said Thursday that it terminated its plan to be bought by a Kentucky company that has had difficulty obtaining gaming licenses in Illinois and Missouri. Columbia Sussex Corp.'s $200 million bid was good only through the end of last month. No deal was made because Columbia did not get approval from the Illinois Gaming Board for a license. Columbia abandoned an earlier bid to buy a Missouri casino after learning that regulators there were unlikely to grant a license.
