Yup...it has to do with the law allowing "riverboat" gambling. They load passengers, go on a trip for awhile and come back. It's the law. They have to be moving.

Not in all cases. See casino in Metropolis IL. I beleive it doesn't even have an engine in it. Just a barge on the river ie., legally it is not on "land" so it made it through the legal loop hole.
