Land-Based Casinos in Mississippi The casinos in Mississippi are all located on riverboats. Mississippi was the third state to legalize riverboat gambling when it was approved by that state’s legislature in 1990. Mississippi state gambling laws restrict casinos to only be located on the coast of the Mississippi River, and counties that border that river. Casinos in Mississippi are also required to be permanently moored at a dock, and never set sail. In 2005 Hurricane Katrina devastated the gulf coast. Many homes, businesses, and casinos were destroyed. The history of casino cruises and riverboat casinos in the United States goes back to the beginning of the 19th century when the Mississippi River was a major trade center for farmers and merchants.
