I think they 'legally' have to be a 'boat' but really what they have done, at least in the one that I went to visit, is to dig a big hole, build a casino inside of it, then then open the hole so the Mississippi River floods the hole. Then the barge 'floats' inside it.
I mean they must have built the 'barge' there because the opening to the Mississippi river was about 6 feet wide and the barge was at least 50 feet wide. There is no way it could fit straight in.
