“Riverboat ring your bell”

“Soon, you may be able to hear the death knell for what was initially billed as “riverboat gambling” in Iowa.

The bill would erase the requirement that those floating casino “barges” which are sitting on lakes be required to maintain the fantasy that the gambling casino is floating on water.” – O.
