Did you know that the Quad Cities was the first in the U.S. to offer riverboat gaming? In 1991, the region launched a nationwide resurgence of gaming when the Diamond Lady Casino was the first casino to open in Bettendorf, Iowa. The President Casino opened about an hour later on the riverfront in Davenport, Iowa.

Today, three land-based casinos operate daily in the Quad Cities – Isle Casino Hotel Bettendorf, Jumer’s Casino & Hotel in Rock Island, and Rhythm City Casino Resort in Davenport.
The new William Hill Sports Book Area of the Isle Casino is an excellent place for fans to gather for sports wagering, and the Elite Sports Book at Rhythm City Casino's Draft Day Sports Lounge features a 360-degree screen and tv screens for customers to view odds or their preferred games. Sports wagering will be available on the Illinois side later this year.

A riverboat casino is a type of casino on a riverboat found in several states in the United States with frontage on the Mississippi River and its tributaries, or along the Gulf Coast. Several states authorized this type of casino in order to enable gambling but limit the areas where casinos could be constructed; it was a type of legal fiction.
