Illinois Casinos: A Premier Gaming Destination
Illinois boasts a vibrant array of riverboat casinos, with nine major establishments offering an exciting variety of gaming options. Despite facing stringent government restrictions and the highest tax rates in the nation, these casinos continue to thrive within the state’s limits on gaming licenses, which are capped at nine.
Illinois, the fifth state to join the union on December 3, 1818, covers 57,918 square miles and is often referred to as the "Prairie State." As of December 2000, it ranks as the fifth most populous state in the U.S., home to 12,419,293 residents. Illinois was a pioneer in riverboat casinos, welcoming its first with the launch of the Alton Belle. Today, each casino invites guests over 21 to try their luck at slots, blackjack, roulette, and more.
The first riverboat casino, Argosy's Alton Belle Casino, debuted in 1991 at 1 Front Street, Alton. It features a 23,000-square-foot gaming space, three restaurants, and operates daily from 9 am to 5 pm with a 1,200-passenger yacht and a barge.
Another notable destination is Argosy's Empress Casino, located at 2300 Empress Drive, Joliet. It offers 85 rooms, 17 suites, and is open from 10 am to 4 am on Fridays and Saturdays. With a spacious 50,000-square-foot casino, an 80-space RV park, and a 2,500-passenger barge, it caters to every guest’s needs with three on-site dining options.
Casino Queen, in East Saint Louis at 200 South Front Street, provides an all-encompassing experience with 150 rooms, seven suites, and a gaming floor of 27,500 square feet. Open from 9 am to 7 am daily, it also hosts a 2,500-passenger paddle wheeler, a 140-space RV park, and convenient access to the MetroLink light-rail station.
These casinos are just a glimpse into Illinois' gaming scene, each offering unique attractions like paddleboats, barges, and exceptional dining options. Beyond gambling, they promise a well-rounded vacation experience, making Illinois a fascinating destination for leisure and entertainment.
