Many of the stateâs 15 riverboat casinos are actual vessels. Some of the newer developments, which include resort-style amenities, have gone to great lengths to put their gaming floors over water while not looking like a riverboat. Some of the L'Auberge Baton Rouge complex hangs over a Mississippi River levee. In Lake Charles, the Golden Nugget dredged a channel from a nearby bayou to enable the gaming floor to be over water, then built a resort around it that includes an 18-hole golf course.
