    Fun place to gamble, even though they don't have that many tables for blackjack, poker, etc.

    A little funky and run-down - odd for a place that is relatively new.

    Captain's Table Buffet had a good selection - now if only the food were fresh and there were less flies nesting in there.....

    I would really give Argosy 3.5 stars. I like to think of this little riverboat as the Casino that . . . almost could. If you have made the long trek to Alton to check out another establishment, stopping by the Argosy is not a bad idea. However unless you live North of Florissant I would not suggest making the trip for this casino. Formerly the Alton Belle Casino.

    I know that all of us who have been to Vegas, grumble about the casino's in St. Louis and St. Charles. But those look like the real deal next to this little baby version. The riverboat is kind of quaint, they have tried to keep it clean and updated and with the Illinois smoking ban there is no smoking.

    But it is a little tattered and torn however they do have $5 blackjack tables and plenty of penny machines, some new some old. All in all you shouldn't have a problem losing your money here. Although my friend did leave the blackjack table with enough winnings to go shoe shopping.
