Shreveport Casinos

Shreveport Casinos are one of the biggest draws in USA, ranking after Las Vegas and Atlantic City.
Shreveport LA is known as the Casino City of Louisiana . While the high rolling crowd generally frequent high stakes games in Vegas, the low rolling coin toting vacation crowd seeks out a quick windfall at the slot machines at the Shreveport Casinos .

Shreveport Casinos have high stakes games like Blackjack, Baccarat, Russian Roulette and Craps. To attract more high spenders from nearby Dallas and New Orleans, casinos such as Harrahs have upgraded their facilities with swanky hotels providing high roller specials like top class suites, spas and concierge service. More popular are the gambling machines such as Pachinko or Slot Machines. Random number games such as Bingo are also very popular with the families.

The Riverboat casinos are the most popular places to gamble at Shreveport . These are reminiscent of the early days when Louisiana Authorities considered gambling illegal and the only way to gamble was to do it in a floating casino. The Red River is of course more or less stagnant and the elegantly decked casino boats are moored securely to the docks!

The twin city of Bossier offers attractive gambling action as well the best horse racing at the Louisiana Downs. Casinos in both cities are high grossers. However, most of the crowds that visit Shreveport casinos are low to middle income family groups… a majority of whom are non-players. Efforts by the Hotels and Casinos to draw wealthier patrons from nearby Forth Worth with Las Vegas style Perks are on full force. On the other hand, to promote more tourist activity, the authorities are attempting to renovate Shreveport's Red River District into a more family-friendly area. There are plans to introduce slot machines, low stake games and fun activities for the family to enjoy rather than just hard core gambling. Restaurants and bars will be also be given a thorough makeover to encourage more families into the establishment.
