On April 21, 1995, the Lady Luck Bettendorf began operating after being granted an excursion gaming license earlier that year.

[1] It was not the first, nor the only riverboat casino at the time in the Quad Cities; Diamond Lady began operating April 1, 1991 in Bettendorf, while President sailed from Davenport, Iowa and Jumer's Casino was working out of Rock Island, Illinois.

The casino boat Bettendorf Capri was sold to American Queen Steamboat Company to be converted into an overnight passenger vessel to join their fleet of river cruise ships.

[5] The Isle Casino Bettendorf currently offers 35,000 square feet of gaming space and 514 hotel rooms.

There are 935 slot and video poker machines, table games, and sports betting.
