riverboat casino
Waterway gambling venue
A riverboat casino is a gambling establishment housed on a boat, typically on a river or lake.
These emerged in the U.S. as a legal workaround—states that prohibited land-based gambling sometimes permitted it on water.
Many remain docked permanently, the riverboat aspect now largely ceremonial: The riverboat casino never actually leaves the dock.
