Boomtown Casino - Bossier City, LA

Boomtown Casino is one of a triumvirate of casinos found in Bossier City, Louisiana. All three are the same size, though the other two are the older and more famous ones. A lot of locals prefer to play at the Boomtown over the other two.

That's because Boomtown Casino has a smaller accompanying hotel, standing just under 200 rooms. Fewer rooms means fewer over-nighters, and therefore a better environment for the "serious gamblers".

Boomtown has over three dozen table games and 1,200 slots. Like all of the local dockside casinos, it is open 24 hours a day.

Here's the contact and drive up information for the Boomtown casino.

The Circle B Club

Boomtown offers the Circle B Player Club, which helps with comps and bonuses. Boomtown touts itself as offering more special deals than their competitors.

Slots and Video Poker

You'll find twelve hundred slot machines on the casino floor. There are penny slots, but most of the machines are quarter and dollar slots. Among the featured games you can play are Wheel of Fortune, Star Wars, Monopoly, Blues Brothers, Pamela Anderson, Money Honey, Mr. Cashman, Little Lucy, Monkey Madness, Triple Cash and Triple Stars.

Craps Games and Table Games

There are three craps tables at the Boomtown Casino.

You'll find several uncommon game tables at the Boomtown. Besides the usual game like roulette, blackjack, caribbean stud, 3 card poker, Let It Ride and Mini-Baccarat, there are games you won't find anywhere else in town.

Spanish 21 is a favorite with many gamblers, but the ones I'm talking about are games like Double Deck Hand Held Pitch Blackjack, Texas Holdem Bonus and Bet The Set. Bet The Set pays 15 to 1 on certain wagers.

Dining In

Cattleman's Buffet serves three buffet menus a day. The buffet offers American, Asian, Italian and Mexican selections. There are also the fixings for roast beef, ham and turkey sandwiches.

Sundance Cantina offers Tex-Mex foods and a well-stocked bar.

1800 Degrees Prime sounds way hotter than I would expect, but that is the temperature this restaurant grills a steak. It also happens to be the name of the restaurant. 1800 Degrees offers steaks and seafood.

Boomer's Cafe serves burgers, sandwiches, salads and soups. It offers a nice, casual alternative to some of the other local restaurants.
