Back in 1989, Iowa legislators passed a law permitting Riverboat Gamblingwith certain restrictions for the first time in this country in decades. Iowa was first but over the next several years Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Missouri followed course. Most of the casinos are located on the Des Plaines, Illinois, Mississippi, and Ohio Rivers. With several changes in the laws over the years, Iowa now allows 24-hour, no-limit, dockside gambling.

Due to competitive pressures from other states, and the restrictions placed on Iowa riverboat casinos, legislation was enacted in March of 1994 to put the Iowa casinos on a level playing field with casinos from neighboring states. These changes were as follows: o Removing the $200/cruise loss limit and the maximum $5/hand wager.
