Treasure Chest Casino in Kenner, Louisiana, is a land-based Boyd Gaming property in the Laketown area near Lake Pontchartrain. Its strongest draw is convenience: slots, live tables, a FanDuel Sportsbook, and four dining venues share a single-level setting with parking outside the entrance. I’d consider it for an adults-only casino evening rather than a resort vacation. There is no attached hotel, and the 21-and-over restriction applies to restaurants and event spaces, too.

A land-based casino, not the old riverboat
Treasure Chest opened its replacement land-based casino on June 6, 2024, across the levee from the former riverboat. If your mental picture involves moving between decks, it is time for a new picture.
Boyd’s opening announcement describes a single-level, 48,000-square-foot gaming floor, four restaurants, and the Magnolia Rooms event space, with parking outside the front entrance.
To me, the useful improvement is the combination: park, enter, and reach the gambling and dining without negotiating a multilevel boat. That does not make Treasure Chest a sprawling resort. It makes it a more practical regional casino for an afternoon or evening.
Casino games: slots, video poker, and tables
At a March 20, 2025, Louisiana Gaming Control Board meeting, Treasure Chest’s general manager reported 947 slot machines and 33 table games. These are dated inventory figures, not a promise about availability during your visit.
The table count increased by one from the 32 announced at the June 2024 opening. That is modest growth, not a wholesale transformation of the offering. Installed tables and open seats are also different things: staffing and demand determine how much of that inventory is operating.
Slots and video poker
Machine players have a substantial slot selection to explore. I would pay more attention to the total wager on the screen than the denomination printed on the cabinet. A penny slot can still require a bet decidedly larger than a penny, particularly when features or jackpot eligibility enter the picture.
For video poker, inspect the actual pay table. Similar-looking games can offer different payouts. Neither the size of Treasure Chest’s floor nor somebody’s winning afternoon establishes that its machines are unusually generous.
If a particular machine, denomination, or video poker game is essential to your trip, ask about it before traveling. A broad machine count cannot answer that question.
Table games
The familiar lineup includes blackjack, craps, and roulette. Confirm operating hours for your preferred game before making a special trip.
I would not build a budget around a low minimum remembered from the riverboat. Minimums can change with demand, and the posted rules matter as much as the buy-in. Check the blackjack payout, examine the roulette wheel, and distinguish required wagers from optional side bets before putting chips down.
Poker room
Treasure Chest has no dedicated player-versus-player poker room. Video poker and poker-themed house games are different offerings, not substitutes for a live cash game against other players.
FanDuel Sportsbook
Treasure Chest has an on-property FanDuel Sportsbook beside The Game, making this the natural part of the property for combining a sports wager with something to eat.
That pairing is more useful than a sportsbook name alone: you can organize an outing around a game and a meal rather than travel solely to place a ticket. Check sportsbook service hours separately from casino hours, especially if you need counter assistance or want to redeem a winning ticket.
Hotel: arrange your overnight stay separately
Treasure Chest has no attached casino hotel. When you finish gambling or dining, you still need to get somewhere else.
Kenner-area lodging can work, but a nearby hotel is not automatically a casino amenity. Its pool, breakfast, cancellation policy, and transportation arrangements belong to that hotel. Do not assume a complimentary shuttle is included.
My advice is to compare the room’s total price together with the return journey. If you are drinking, arrange a designated driver, taxi, or rideshare before the end of the night.
Restaurants and bars
The four dining venues are Alder & Birch Steakhouse, Lakeside Café, Infusion, and The Game. Alder & Birch includes a craft cocktail bar, while The Game provides the sports-bar-and-grill option beside the sportsbook.
I’d treat Alder & Birch as the steakhouse dinner to organize ahead of time and The Game as the natural choice when sports are the main event. That is a distinction in format, not a firsthand judgment about the food. Boyd encourages reservations for Alder & Birch.
For a smaller meal, Boyd’s property fact sheet describes Infusion as offering sandwiches, salads, fruit, premium coffee, and breakfast options, with sit-down and quick-bite service.
Individual Alder & Birch customer reviews on Restaurantji give contrasting accounts of service. A March 2026 birthday diner praised the waiter and overall experience, while an August 2026 birthday diner enjoyed the food but reported extremely slow service. These are individual experiences, not a dependable pattern. I would leave some breathing room between dinner and a fixed-time event.
Check menus and kitchen hours before committing. A casino staying open late does not mean every restaurant does. Everyone in your dining party must be at least 21, so this is not a family dinner stop where adults can take turns visiting the casino.
Entertainment and event space
Boyd describes up to 8,000 square feet of meeting and event space in the Magnolia Rooms. Along with the restaurants and sportsbook, that gives adults reasons to visit beyond playing machines.
Still, I would treat Treasure Chest primarily as a gambling-and-dining destination, not a resort packed with non-gaming activities. Check the current event calendar rather than assuming live entertainment accompanies every visit.
Parking, directions, hours, and visit costs
Use 4540 Williams Blvd. for the land-based casino in Kenner’s Laketown area near Lake Pontchartrain. For someone staying in the French Quarter, this is a separate excursion rather than a walkable addition to the evening.
Opening coverage described on-site parking as eliminating the former shuttle requirement. Boyd published capacity for 1,700 vehicles, but that is neither a guarantee of an available space nor confirmation that parking is free.
The June 2024 opening schedule listed 8 a.m. to 3 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, with 24-hour operation Friday and Saturday. Confirm current hours before a late-night trip.
- Bring photo identification. Guests must be 21 or older in the casino, restaurants, and event spaces.
- Budget for the whole outing. Keep dining and transportation expenses outside your gambling bankroll.
- Confirm costs and services. Do not assume free parking, valet service, or hotel transportation. Check dining prices and table minimums before setting your budget.
- Ask about smoking arrangements if smoke bothers you. Confirm the current policy for the areas you plan to use.
- Discuss specific access needs before arrival. A single-level layout is useful, but it does not answer every mobility question.

Boyd Rewards
Treasure Chest participates in Boyd Rewards. If you already play at Boyd properties, that connection is worth considering when choosing where to spend an evening.
Use your card for eligible play, and ask which dining purchases qualify for benefits. Offers and redemption rules vary. My rule is simple: use rewards on gambling you already intended to do, not as an excuse to increase the budget.
Who Treasure Chest is best for
I’d recommend Treasure Chest to adults who want a Kenner evening built around slots, live tables, a sports bet, and dinner, with a single-level layout and parking outside the entrance. Its appeal is convenience rather than resort depth, especially for visitors already staying nearby or traveling by car. The individual steakhouse reviews give mixed service accounts, so allow time for dinner. Choose an attached-hotel casino for an overnight trip, or another dining destination for a family meal: separate lodging and the property-wide 21-and-over rule are meaningful trade-offs.
