The flashing lights and the prospect of fast cash lure students from the University of Kansas across state lines to the casinos in North Kansas City, Mo.
One riverboat fan, Trent Henderson, Fredonia junior, said he and his friends visited the casinos to play blackjack fairly regularly.
Many who frequent the riverboats say that the boats illustrate Kansas City entertainment as compared to Lawrence: bigger and better.
"I haven't gone lately, but earlier in the year we would go about once a week," Henderson said. "We don't go as much anymore because the drive was long and I've been busy with other things."
Henderson, who said he usually broke even in his gambling endeavors, had a favorite casino.

Music venues also are a draw for students who have tired of local acts at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St, and Granada, 1020 Massachusetts.
"I've been meaning to go to Kansas City, but I just haven't made it there yet," said Travis Swink, Sioux Falls, S.D., freshman. "I really want to go to a concert like Brittney Spears or one of
the boy bands, just for the experience."
However, not all students were impressed with the entertainment options that Kansas City had to offer.
"I lived in Kanas City, but I've never been to Topeka," said Lindsay Lockton, Leewed sophomore. "I usually go to dinner and then to a movie at one of the big theaters there."
