Chicago's Top Riverboat Gambling Casinos
You must be 21 to board the riverboat and you can't use cash to gamble. Chips and tokens are used by all. Each riverboat offers slots as well as video machines. The typical table games can be found; baccarat, craps, poker, roulette, and blackjack. All allow you to place various wagers.
One of my personal favorites is the Grand Victoria Casino. The Grand Victoria is in the northwest section of Elgin and is a beautifully decorated, Victorian style casino. They have plenty of free parking and are open daily from 8:30 am to 6:30 am. It doesn't cost anything to get in, but you must be 21. They have a very large selection of slot machines and blackjack tables as well as baccarat, craps, roulette and poker tables. There is a nice gift shop.
Another great choice is the Par-A-Dice Hotel and Casino. The Par-A-Dice is a dockside casino and is open from 9 am to 6 am. There is no cost to enter and you do have to be 21 years old. The rich gold, brown and red décor give the place a lavish feel. There are enough slot and video machines to keep you busy all night. If that's not your game, you'll be happy to know they have plenty of the usual stuff, roulette, craps, poker, baccarat and blackjack. There is plenty of free parking and dining and lodging are available on property.
Riverboat gambling done Harrah's style is what you get when you visit the Showboat - The Mardi Gras Casino. Home of the House of Blues and an entertainment list that will knock your socks off, this is the ultimate. Located at 777 Resorts Blvd in East Chicago, IN 46312. the rules are the same here. You must be 21 years old to enter the casino. They also have a large selection of blackjack tables and slot machines. If Baccarat is your game, you will be satisfied here.

Just remember to gamble responsibly.
