About Harrah’s New Orleans

Harrah’s New Orleans — now part of Caesars Entertainment and sometimes referenced as Caesars New Orleans — is a commercially unique casino at 8 Canal Street in New Orleans, Louisiana, owned by Caesars Entertainment Corporation. It is the only land-based (non-riverboat) commercial casino in Louisiana — a legally protected authorization embedded in Louisiana’s state constitution that permits a single land-based casino in New Orleans, specifically at this Canal Street location. The casino runs 1,500 slot machines and 105 table game positions — the largest table game floor among all Louisiana commercial casinos — on a 24/7 schedule, with a restaurant, self-parking, and valet on site. The Caesars Rewards loyalty program connects to the full Caesars national network. The minimum gambling age is 21, regulated by the Louisiana Gaming Control Board. Website: caesars.com.

The 8 Canal Street address is in the heart of the New Orleans Central Business District, at the intersection of Canal Street and the Harrah’s property that borders the French Quarter. This prime location — within walking distance of the French Quarter, the Warehouse District, and the New Orleans Convention Center — gives Harrah’s New Orleans unmatched accessibility among Louisiana casinos. The special land-based authorization was granted by Louisiana’s legislature in the 1990s as an economic development measure for the city of New Orleans, with Harrah’s New Orleans paying a significant portion of its revenues to the state and city as part of the licensing arrangement.

Table Games: 105 Positions and Specialty Formats

Harrah’s New Orleans’ 105 table game positions — the largest table game floor in Louisiana — include 21+3 Xtreme, Craps, Criss Cross Poker, Fortune Pai Gow Poker, Four Card Poker, High Card Flush, In Bet, Let It Ride, Midi-Baccarat, Mini-Baccarat, Slot machines, and Video Poker.

21+3 Xtreme is an enhanced Blackjack side bet evaluating the player’s first two cards and the dealer’s upcard as a three-card poker hand, with higher payout multipliers than standard 21+3 for suited combinations. Criss Cross Poker is a community-card poker game in which a five-card cross (horizontal and vertical rows) of community cards is dealt — players form two five-card hands from their two hole cards plus the horizontal or vertical community cards and compete against the dealer. Four Card Poker has players form their best four-card hand from six cards with a Super Bonus side bet. High Card Flush has players form the best single-suit flush from seven cards. In Bet is a Blackjack auxiliary wagering format. The scale of 105 table positions allows Harrah’s New Orleans to run all of these formats simultaneously.
