For those who want a fun night out with a little gambling thrown in, you don’t have to live near a sea port to enjoy an evening on a casino riverboat cruise. Modern riverboat cruises offer a great opportunity for an evening’s entertainment with blackjack, roulette, craps, baccarat and plenty of slot machines on board in a pleasant environment.
Riverboat casino cruises were first permitted in Iowa in 1989 and many other states soon followed. The original idea was that a two or three hour river cruise could offer roulette, blackjack and slot machines during a pleasant lake or river trip. It was envisaged that the controlled time factor of the cruise would restrict the passenger’s potential losses over such a short period of time. Old paddle steamers and riverboats were renovated and fitted out and riverboat gambling trips soon became a popular source of entertainment.
Today these gambling cruise boats often do not even leave the dockside whilst offering great buffets and a choice of gambling entertainment Las Vegas style. Popular riverboat gambling cruises can be found on the Mississippi River near Natchez, outside Baton Rouge LA, at Biloxi MS and in many other states.
In South Florida, evening casino cruises are offered sailing along Biscayne Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway combining a party atmosphere with some great gambling fun. Trips sail around 7pm and last anything up to 6 hours.
One of the most successful Casino cruise boats is SunCruz moored on the Pithlachascotee River in Port Richey on the west coast of Florida. High speed water taxis ferry guests to and from the Casino boat which offers everything from slots to gaming tables in a spacious Las Vegas style casino. Craps, roulette, poker, blackjack and other favorites are available. You can try your hand at Keno, Video Poker, Deuces Wild, Wheel of Fortune and other games at the 300 on-board slot machines. The top deck on the casino cruise boat has a large bar serving a great choice of cocktails, beers and spirits.
Successfully combining gambling in a fun environment, riverboat gambling boats are a popular way to spend an evening without the associated costs of a longer casino cruise.
