And plus, how often can you say you played blackjack on the high seas? Louisiana offers you a ton of gaming variety when you visit a place like this.

Louisiana has seen a lot of their gambling laws get altered over the past few years and they happen to be right next to a body of water, so that’s why they’ve been the perfect hub for riverboat casinos. The boat sails out into neutral territory where the laws no longer apply and, voila, you’re now free to play at a casino. Casino gaming isn’t allowed in certain locales and jurisdictions, so one creative workaround has been to hop on a boat for a “cruise”. Riverboat casinos are kind of a funny thing.
