Casinos in Louisiana. Louisiana is home to three types of casinos: riverboat casinos, Native American casinos, and one land-based casino. In 1991 Louisiana approved riverboat casino gambling, it was actually the fourth state in the U.S. In 1991 the law only allowed for a maximum of 15 riverboats to operate statewide. Oklahoma The entire state of Oklahoma is filled with land-based casinos from top to bottom, as you can see on my US casino locator map. Oklahoma City doesn't have that many options in the city itself, but if you head south towards Newcastle Plaza, you will find state-of-the-art Newcastle Gaming Center. Land-based casinos refer to the typical casinos that people often think of when they think of a casino. An example of this would a popular casino in Las Vegas or Atlantic City. Casino gambling was legalized in Nevada in 1931 and it was the only state to offer that type of gambling until 1977 when New Jersey legalized casinos.
