Casino and craps gambling in Illinois is limited to riverboat and dockside casinos. At one time, gaming was only allowed on these after the vessel in question had left the dock, but the rules have changed.

Some IL casinos still have boarding times and admission fees, but most of them now allow customers to come and go at will. The former restrictions on how much a person could buy in for have been lifted too.
Casino players have to be 21 in order to gamble legally in Illinois.
