floating casino
Gambling vessel afloat
A floating casino is a gambling establishment on a boat or barge, historically used to circumvent laws prohibiting land-based casinos.
Many U.S. states allowed riverboat gambling while banning traditional casinos, leading to vessels that cruised rivers or remained permanently moored: The floating casino on the Mississippi draws tourists year-round.
Some are elaborate multi-deck operations with restaurants and entertainment.
