To see where riverboat casinos started, we have to go back all the way to the 1800s, when the Mississippi valley was the beating heart of the American economy. Back then, the Great River was a watery freeway, connecting traders and communities by river transports that could move faster and haul more load than wagons and tired old mules. Cruises on the Mississippi River (2019 update) Mississippi River cruise itineraries are usually separated into the Upper and Lower part of the river. The Upper Mississippi is generally considered to be between St. Louis, Missouri and St. Paul, Minnesota; and the Lower Mississippi is between Memphis, Tennessee and New Orleans, Louisiana. While Mississippi does not allow horse racing, licensed casinos are able to operate as water-borne riverboats. In addition, Native American casinos are legal in the state. However, Mississippi law prohibits the operation of an official state lottery. Click on a link below to learn more about Mississippi gambling and lotteries laws. Riverboat gambling as a class of casino usually means the casino is over water, but it does not mean that the casino is usually able to ply the waters of the river. Like in Mississippi, casinos are usually riverboat casinos, but they are so big and unwieldy that they would never actually move. The riverboat gambling bill passed in Mississippi even as lawmakers were emotionally debating both the constitutionality and the morality of statewide legalization of video-poker machines.

In 2005 Hurricane Katrina devastated the gulf coast. Many homes, businesses, and casinos were destroyed. Later that year the state legislature voted to allow some Mississippi casinos located on the gulf coast to be rebuilt on land. This law requires the casinos to be rebuilt within 800-feet of the shoreline.
