Document:
Illinois became the second state to legalize riverboat gaming when it passed the Riverboat Gambling Act ("Act") in February of 1990. The Act authorizes the Illinois Gaming Board ("Board") to license up to 10 riverboat casino licenses and sets forth a basic licensing and tax scheme. The Board employs agency members and also works with the Illinois State Police to conduct background checks and investigations involving applicants and licensees. In addition to the provisions in the Act, the Board promulgates rules ("Rules") that further regulate the casino gaming industry within the state.
Each casino operator is allowed up to 1,200 gaming positions divided between up to two riverboats. All wagering on the riverboats must be cashless – patrons use tokens, chips, or electronic cards for wagering purposes.
Illinois currently has nine operating casinos and a gross casino gaming revenue of $1.43 billion. In 2009, visitor volume at Illinois casinos was approximately 14.5 million.
