After three decades of operation, the iconic Treasure Chest Casino riverboat in Kenner, Louisiana has closed its doors for good. The decision to shut down the popular gambling establishment was announced earlier this week, much to the disappointment of its loyal patrons.
The Treasure Chest Casino first opened its doors in 1994, bringing a unique gaming experience to residents and visitors of the Kenner area.

Despite its popularity, the decision to close the Treasure Chest Casino was not taken lightly. The closure comes as a result of declining revenues in recent years, a trend that has impacted many casinos and gambling establishments across the country.
In a statement released by the casino’s management, the closure was attributed to “changing market conditions and increased competition in the gaming industry.” The announcement has left many employees and patrons feeling saddened by the loss of a beloved establishment in the community.

As news of the closure spreads, many are reminiscing about their favorite memories at the Treasure Chest Casino. From winning big on the slots to enjoying a delicious meal at the on-site restaurant, the riverboat holds a special place in the hearts of its patrons.
While the closure of the Treasure Chest Casino marks the end of an era in Kenner, many are hopeful that new opportunities will arise to fill the void left by the beloved riverboat.

As the final guests disembarked from the Treasure Chest Casino riverboat, many were left with a sense of nostalgia and gratitude for the memories made at the iconic establishment.
