The warring partners in the $382 million French Lick Resort and Casino are parting ways.
Locally based Lauth Property Group has agreed to sell its 50-percent interest in the venture to an affiliate of Bloomington billionaire Bill Cook, the companies announced Wednesday night.
The deal would give Cook affiliates full ownership of French Lick Resort and Casino. Under the settlement, the partners are dropping all pending lawsuits and arbitration.
Financial terms were not disclosed.

The casino opened last fall.
