Did you know that the Quad Cities was the first in the U.S. to offer riverboat gaming? In 1991, the region launched a nationwide resurgence of gaming when the Diamond Lady Casino was the first casino to open in Bettendorf, Iowa. The President Casino opened about an hour later on the riverfront in Davenport, Iowa.
Today, three land-based casinos operate daily in the Quad Cities – Isle Casino Hotel Bettendorf, Jumer's Casino & Hotel in Rock Island, and Rhythm City Casino Resort in Davenport.
Riverboat Casino Mississippi River
Riverboat Queen Slots. In the bad old days before online casinos, gamblers in certain parts of the US could only legally play games on riverboats. The laws stated that when the boats were on the Mississippi River, they were outside the jurisdiction of the state and therefore gambling was allowed. Gaming will move off the Mississippi River in Bettendorf to the new land-based Isle of Capri Casino with a grand opening set for June 24. 'The whole idea of riverboat gaming changed,' Renk. In 1854, Mississippi riverboat honest card gambler Mark Fallon wins young Laurent Dureau's diamond necklace family heirloom which, in the end, will bring him happiness and tragedy alike.
The new William Hill Sports Book Area of the Isle Casino is an excellent place for fans to gather for sports wagering, and the Elite Sports Book at Rhythm City Casino's Draft Day Sports Lounge features a 360-degree screen and tv screens for customers to view odds or their preferred games. Sports wagering will be available on the Illinois side later this year.
Besides gaming, each property offers a variety of dining options, beautifully appointed hotel rooms, live entertainment options, and all are close to attractions, golf, and other entertainment amenities.
