The aptly-named Par-A-Dice, a contemporary mega-yacht, offers dockside gaming on the Illinois River. As the primary casino entertainment complex in central Illinois, the Par-A-Dice Hotel Casino draws customers from throughout the state, along with out-of-state guests seeking a short vacation getaway. 

With its European theme incorporated across all four decks of the riverboat, the Par-A-Dice offers slot machines and table games. The remainder of the complex counts a 202-room hotel, three restaurants, a lounge and bar, retail areas, and convention space among the amenities readily available to customers. 

The Par-A-Dice, which opened in 1991 and was acquired by Boyd Gaming in 1996, enabled the Company to continue its goal of operating casino enterprises in major domestic gaming markets.
