Being the fifth most populous American state and being ranked twelfth in terms of population density in 2014, Illinois is a key transportation hub with a diversified economic base.
As far as casino gaming industry is concerned, with the passage of the Riverboat Gambling Act in early 1990s the sector was rejuvenated after decades of sluggish performance. Ten licenses were authorized across the state and in September 1991 Alton saw the opening of the first modern Illinois riverboat. Later a few more such establishments opened doors to customers – one in East St. Louis, one in Aurora, two in Joliet, one in Metropolis, one in East Peoria, one in East Dubuque and one in Rock Island. Riverboats have generated almost USD 11 billion in tax revenue to the state since 1991.
In 2009 casino gaming in the state experienced another expansion wave after the Video Gaming Act was approved. However, mass approval of business entities’ requests for video gaming licenses has not been initiated by the Illinois Gaming Board until 2012. The industry was projected to generate about USD 300 million in tax revenue on annual basis.
