The Louisiana projects had to have local investors, some of which sold out for millions even before the wagering began. Gus Mijalis, a longtime crony of former Gov. Edwin Edwards, got a small share of a New Orleans boat that he eventually sold for $26 million. As a result, Mississippi's industry boomed while Louisiana's often staggered. Louisiana was the fourth state to allow casino gambling and it went after the market with a passion, approving a maximum of 15 riverboat casinos, four Indian Reservation casinos and three land.
