Riverboat gambling as a class of casino usually means the casino is over water, but it does not mean that the casino is usually able to ply the waters of the river. Like in Mississippi, casinos are usually riverboat casinos, but they are so big and unwieldy that they would never actually move. The Magnolia Bluffs Casino & Hotel is located in Natchez located near the Mississippi river. This establishment offers 480 slots including video poker and over 16 table g.

Did you know that the Quad Cities was the first in the U.S. to offer riverboat gaming? In 1991, the region launched a nationwide resurgence of gaming when the Diamond Lady Casino was the first casino to open in Bettendorf, Iowa. The President Casino opened about an hour later on the riverfront in Davenport, Iowa.

Today, three land-based casinos operate daily in the Quad Cities – Isle Casino Hotel Bettendorf, Jumer’s Casino & Hotel in Rock Island, and Rhythm City Casino Resort in Davenport.

The new William Hill Sports Book Area of the Isle Casino is an excellent place for fans to gather for sports wagering, and the Elite Sports Book at Rhythm City Casino's Draft Day Sports Lounge features a 360-degree screen and tv screens for customers to view odds or their preferred games. Sports wagering will be available on the Illinois side later this year.
