He explained that such a move would be like “investing in a business that has no future.” He said that with the expansion of slot machines into kennel club, there wasn’t any sense to operate gambling cruises.
The one to comment on the termination of operation on behalf of Blue Horizon was the managing director of PB Gaming (the firm that operated the ship), Robert Weisberg. According to Blue Horizon, the casino day cruise industry in Florida “cannot compete” with the brick and mortar expansion of gaming. The decision comes because of the recent $3.1 billion worth agreement between the state and the Seminole Tribe that places land-based gambling properties in a very favourable position. As was explained on the sign, the company was sorry for any inconvenience caused by their actions and promised to refund all reservations. Latest Casino and Gambling News, Casino Cruise Ships, FloridaĪ sign posted at the Port of Palm Beach this Wednesday informed that all Blue Horizon Casino Cruises operations from the port have been suspended.
