Riverboat Gambling
Riverboat
design changes from state to state, depending on local
laws, as does riverboat gaming itself. For example, in
Mississippi, gaming is not permitted on a moving boat;
therefore, the riverboats in that state must remain
dockside if gambling is to be allowed. On the other
hand, in Louisiana, gaming is not permitted dockside on
riverboats, so the boats must be seaworthy. And so it goes
from state to state.
The riverboat industry is a dynamic one, with
boats constantly
being put into service, while others are subject to losses and go out
of business. Eventually, the riverboats will reach a point of no return,
competing for a limited number of gamblers in a limited number
of towns. Another factor that may slow their growth is the push for
legalized gambling in various big cities in America. For example, if
legalized gambling comes to Chicago, it will surely have a negative
impact on the riverboats that ply their trade in that state. The same
holds true for the other big cities that line the Mississippi River.
