Because they can't be on land and its hard to keep them floating in the air.

Exhibit A is margaritaville.
They just built a barge over the water and didn’t even try to make it look like a boat.

Rivergate was a cool old building. Damn shame they tore it down to build that shithole Harrah’s.

To get around restrictions prohibiting them from operating on land. They used to have to be functional boats. Some places only allowed gaming while the boat was moving.
Before there were casinos in LA , I remember taking a gambling boat out of Biloxi...we weren't allowed to gamble until we got a few miles offshore.

Do you think Harrahs is operating illegally or something? Obviously it’s allowed to be there

Somebody got, and someone probably still gets money in their pocket from the highest bidder. It is a Louisiana thing.

New Orleans is under sea level and is sinking so it is considered a boat.

Because they manipulated the language in he permit. It’s a gaming establishment or a gambling hall. NOT a casino. Aka, Edwin Edwards made it happen.

And he pushed it through before opening the 4 riverboats New Orleans got.

Anyone alive old enough to process the English language during the Edwin Edwards years as governor knows this story and it’s been posted on the OT at least 7 times in the past. Try google

New Orleans floods so often that for legal purposes, the state of Louisiana doesn't consider it dry land.

A law that allowed Harrah's to operate on land.
