Casino Queen
When developed, The Casino Queen was the first major development on the Illinois riverfront in more than 20 years. The development features a 38,000 square foot Casino, 6,250 square feet of meeting space, a 157 room hotel and multiple restaurants. The Koman family developed the Casino Queen project in East St. Louis in 1995.
In 2005, the Koman Family embarked on a $150 million renovation of the property, creating the largest development project in the past 50 years for the Illinois riverfront. The new facility includes a "boat-in-a-moat" gaming floor. The casino floor is actually floating on water, however visitors do not know they are on a
barge. The moat is filled with 340,000 gallons of water under the casino floor. The Casino Qeen was the first of Illinois' nine casinos to move
inland.
