All of the casinos in Illinois are riverboat casinos, Illinois was the second state to legalize riverboat gambling and the boats began operating in September 1991 with the launching of the first boat: the Alton Belle.
Seven of the riverboat casinos in Illinois are either on boats or on docked barges. These Illinois casinos remain dockside and do not cruise. The other three casinos: Rivers in Des Plaines, Jumer's in Rock Island, and the Casino Queen in East. St. Louis, are all land-based casinos. Interestingly, however, they all qualify as being riverboat casinos because they are all built over a shallow pit filled with a few inches of water.
Unlike Mississippi casinos, the casinos in Illinois are not open 24 hours and Illinois casino laws limit the number of gaming licenses to 10.
