Most Illinois casinos have cut back on their hours of operation also. Alton Belle has cut back to an 18 hour a day operation instead of the 22 hours they had. The Casino Queen has gone the other way and applied for a 24 hour gaming license. The Queen is also going to announce plans for a land based casino "boat in the moat". Finally getting a building instead of a boat. That should be a lot nicer. Higher ceilings and less smoke.
