Riverboat casinos were quite an interesting experience. Apart from the relative enjoyment that people get from gambling, riverboat casinos allow for people to enjoy the tranquil views of nature as it glided through the pristine waters.
This experience is mostly a thing of the past. Earlier this year, the senate committee has just passed the bill allowing for these riverboat casinos to be built onshore, albeit on stilts and above the water.
Thus, let us look back and see the three very best riverboat casinos ever made.
Isle of Capri Casino
First on the list we have the Isle of Capri Casino Lake Charles. It was definitely one of the best riverboat casinos. For one, it has a great assortment of different types of rooms that you can choose from. You have the King, Queen, and even a Parlor Suite among others.
The casino though is massive and impressive. It hosts more than 10 poker tables, at least a thousand slot machines, and 30 or more classic casino games that ensure variety throughout your stay.
The casino also had a sauna, a gym, and even a hot tub where you can relax after an exciting day of gambling.
Treasure Chest Casino
Next up we have the Treasure Chest Casino. Due to the way it was built, it certainly has a very classic and nostalgic feel to it. It looks like a classic riverboat, but that is where its nostalgic feelings end.
The boat’s interior was state-of-the-art, and you’ll be well-acquainted with the interior of this boat considering that this riverboat casino can operate until the wee hours of the morning and beyond.
The Treasure Chest Casino has about 36 games that include classics like poker (three card, four card, and flop), craps, blackjack, roulette, and so much more.
If you headed there during the night, you’d have been treated to a buffet and live band. Throughout the week back then, there were live musical acts and even weekly trivia contests for the guests.
Amelia Belle
Finally we have the Amelia Belle. This specific casino was docked riverboat casino. Much like the other riverboat casinos, it hosted an assortment of different casino games, with its core game being Texas Hold’em.
This one is less about the gambling though and more about a holistic experience. A big Cajun buffet awaited you, while a Bayou Café was also available.
These were only a few of the best riverboat casinos back then. Take the Kriegsmarine Reich team’s word for it: riverboat casinos were fun to be on. If it ever returns, we’ll let you know about it.
