In the US gambling is hugely popular and has been around since the beginning of the United States. Did you know that George Washington was a prominent sponsor of specific lotteries where the money made was used for public works projects? So as you can see gambling is part of the American culture. US gambling boats became a great source of entertainment from the start of the 18th century and are still today a popular gambling option for Americans and for tourists alike. Gambling on the rivers of the US is quite a lot of fun and certainly different to the usual land-based casino action that you get.
The 18th century was a period when riverboats were primarily meant for traveling and gambling was part of the entertainment offered to the passengers. But after gambling was abused by card cheaters and con artists, the whole concept nearly doomed. Another reason is said to be the prevalence of trains, automobiles and other transportation modes became very efficient that traveling by riverboat sharply declined by the start of the 19th century itself.
It was only during the beginning of the 1990’s that many US States realized and woke up to the fact that US gambling boats can bring in huge tax revenue. Thus gambling on riverboats in the US remerged and its popularity got spread all across the US.
Presently six US States offer US gambling boats. The six states include Iowa, Mississippi, Indiana, Louisiana, and Missouri. There are nearly 55 US gambling boat companies operating in the above six states alone and most of them are operated on the Ohio, Mississippi and Missouri rivers. According to statistics this industry segment alone is known to generate nearly $3.2 billion in revenue! Ohio, South Carolina, New York, and Pennsylvania casinos are now trying to get into the act as well with their own US gambling boats.
