Those aboard have three hours of playing time before the casino closes and the boat returns to Little River. The first floor of the boat allows smoking and houses the main casino the dining room and slot machines are located on the second, a non-smoking area and the third level is the deck, which is partially enclosed, and allows smoking. Some people come just to enjoy a nice sunset cruise or time with their friends.

“It’s a unique experience in South Carolina. “We are the only casino boat in the Carolinas,” says Eda Ekincigil, Marketing Coordinator for The Big “M” Casino. Twice a day, at 11am and 6:30pm, patrons board the The Big “M” Casino boat sail from shore to try their luck at slot machines as well as table games like black jack, craps, roulette, let it ride, and three card poker.ĭuring the forty-five minute boat ride to and from international waters, The Big “M” entertains with live music, shows, or bingo depending on the day and there is always the joy of being out on the open water with spectacular views. But three miles off shore, in international waters, those rules don’t apply. Land-based casinos are illegal in South Carolina. Aboard the boat, patrons enjoy dining, beautiful views, entertainment, camaraderie, and of course, gambling. They have two luxury yachts that sail daily from Little River’s harbor. The Big “M” Casino first arrived in South Carolina in 2008.
