Riverboat Queen Casino
Riverboat Queen Casino has been a fixture on the waterfront here for nearly three decades, and honestly, it's become part of our community's identity. Located right on the river with those big windows overlooking the water, it's where locals go to celebrate wins and where visitors come expecting that authentic riverboat charm we actually deliver. You'll see families here on weekends, serious poker players tucked into the back rooms, and couples on dates taking advantage of the dinner specials. What sets Queen apart from the bigger casinos an hour away is that you can still recognize faces—the dealers remember regulars, the bartenders know your drink—which keeps people coming back. The locals here are proud of it because it's ours, and management has always respected that by staying genuinely connected to what makes this area special.

📖Our Story
History of Riverboat Queen Casino
From its founding in 1996 to today, Riverboat Queen Casino has grown into one of the region's most trusted gaming and entertainment destinations.
Grand Opening
Marcus and Patricia Delacroix, a husband-and-wife team who'd run river-based busnesses for years, opened Riverboat Queen in the spring of '96 with a vision that felt almost quaint compared to what casinos became. The original boat was a restored 1970s paddlewheel vessel that they'd spent two years refurbishing, and when she first lit up at night, people drove from three counties just to see it. They started with blackjack roulette, and about twelve slot machines on the main deck—nothing fancy, just honest games in an atmoshere that felt special because of the river views and the genuine wood finishes throughout. The opening night drew maybe two thousand people, with locals who'd known Patricia from her days running the riverside restaurant mingling with curious tourists, and the Delacroix family actually stayed on the floor until closing time, greeting people and making sure everything ran smooth. That dedication to being present set a tone that the casino's never really lost, even as it's grown.
Expansion and Restaurant Addition
By 2002, the original space was packed most nights, so the Delacroix's added a second barge-style section connected by a climate-controlled bridge, basicaly doubling capacity overnight. More importnatly, they brought in Chef Antoine Broussard to create a proper restaurant—not just casino food, but actual cuisine that people started coming for even if they weren't gambling much. The new Riverfront Dining room seated maybe 120 people with floor-to-celing windows, and suddenly the casino became as much of a date destination as it was a gaming spot. That same year they also upgraded the poker room to eight tables with professional-grade equipment, which attracted serious players from the region who'd previously driven elsewhere for better competition. The community response was incredible—local contractors had done most of the buildout work, and restaurant suppliers from town became part of our supply chain, so the expansion genuinely boosted the local economy.
Digital Modernization and Gaming Suite Overhaul
The financial crisis was rough on everyone, but the Delacroix family doubled down by investing in completely modernized gaming equipment and switching to a new computerized player rewards system that actually felt generous rather than nickel-and-diming people. They replaced nearly every machine on the floor with newer units featuring better odds and smoother gameplay, and they did it without raising their house edge—word spreads fast about things like that, and players noticed the diferent approach. They also added private VIP gaming spaces for high-limit players and renovated the entire back section with better lighting and new carpeting that honestly made the whole place feel fresher without losing that riverboat character. Staff training got a serious upgrade too, with every dealer and host going through new certification programs. By 2010, the casino had weathered the recession better than most because people knew management wasn't trying to squeeze them—they were trying to give them fair games and good value.
Heritage Renovation and Community Center Integration
Last year, management completed a major renovation focused on honoring the casino's history while adding genuine modern comfort—they restored the original paddle wheel mechanism as a working feature you can actualy see from the dining area, which sounds cheesy but genuinely moves people. They also partnered with the local community to integrate a small heritage museum section that tells the story of riverboat gambling in this region going back more than a century, with artifacts from other boats and photographs that locals have contributed. The renovation included upgraded HVAC, better accessibility throughout both barges with wider hallways and proper ramps, and a new outdoor river-view lounge area with heated seating for those first warm days of spring when people just want to be outside. Most impressively, they launched a local scholarship fund drawing from a small percentage of gaming revenue—I know two kids in town whose college educations got funded partly through that program. It felt like management was saying, 'we've prospered here because of this community, so we're investing back in the next generation,' and that matters to people like us who actually live here year-round.
