TYPES OF CASINOS IN NEW ORLEANS
There are three types of casinos in New Orleans: two riverboat casinos, one pari-mutuel casino and one land-based casino. There are some differences among the three types of casinos and that is explained below.
New Orleans Casino Listings
Riverboat Casinos in New Orleans
In 1991, Louisiana was the fourth state to approve riverboat casinos and its gaming law allows a maximum of 15 riverboat casinos statewide. All Louisiana riverboat casinos must remain dockside and they are not allowed to cruise.
There are two riverboat casinos in New Orleans and both offer electronic gaming machines, as well as a variety of table games.
Pari-Mutuel Casinos in New Orleans
There is one New Orleans casino that is located at a horse track. That pari-mutuel casino, Fair Grounds Race Course, only offers slot machines. It has no table games, nor does it have any video poker games.
Land-Based Casinos in New Orleans
Louisiana law allows for one land-based casino in New Orleans. That casino is Harrah's located in downtown New Orleans near the waterfront, and just a few blocks from Bourbon Street. That casino offers electronic gaming machines, as well as an assortment of table games.
Gaming regulations require that gaming machines at all (non-Indian) New Orleans casinos be programmed to pay back no less than 80% and no more than 99.9%. The payback percentages for slot machines at all New Orleans casinos, as well as all Louisiana casinos, are released as a matter of public record. Just click here to see a list of slot machine payback statistics for all New Orleans casinos.
If you happen to win a jackpot of $1,200 or more in a Louisiana casino, the casino will withhold 6% of your winnings for the Louisiana Department of Revenue. You may get some of that money refunded, by filing a state income tax return. Depending on the details of your return, you may get some of the money back. The $1,200 limit would also apply to any cash prizes won in casino drawings adn/or tournaments.
The minimum gambling age is 21 for all casinos in New Orleans and 18 for pari-mutuel betting.
