I was super excited to try this casino cruise. You make the reservation online and have to get there 30 minutes before boarding to hold your reservation. Upon entering, we were guided where to park and we had a man pick us up in a golf cart to take us to boarding. I thought that was very nice and everyone was friendly until then. The employees do not really seem to be happy when people ask any questions as they probably get asked the same questions over and over. But for someone who is a first time guest, they could be a little more patient. Once you enter, you get your card and can go to any of the 3 floors. Floors 2 and 3 have outside seating. There is a dining area on Floor 2. It was like a cafeteria with sub par service and dirty tables. I truthfully felt like I was on a greyhound bus. The food is super reasonable at $10/meal with a very limited selection. If you are vegan, or vegetarian have fun trying to figure that out. Alcoholic drinks are also very reasonable. The place just felt dirty and had such a wide variety of patrons. I got sick immediately and no one seemed to care that worked there or offered any help. They do have Dramamine if needed but one of the employees told me "it won't work". Thankfully I didn't listen to him and still took it. It did take the sickness away alittle. There are only 4 chairs that recline and they were occupied the whole time by the same people. Two of those people were sleeping. For $20. You get a nice 5 hour cruise into the ocean. But, I don't have any intent to go back again. It felt trashy and just overall boring.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about your recent experience with us. We sincerely apologize for the aspects of your visit that did not meet your expectations. Your comments are invaluable to us. We are pleased to hear that you found the initial stages of your experience, such as the parking assistance and the friendliness of our staff upon arrival, to be positive. We understand that first-time guests may have many questions, and we will address your concerns with our team. Sometimes our staff have a short time before our casino opens to clean and if the weather is bad there will be extra cleaning required. As for the food options, all of our food is freshly made on the boat and therefore what’s included can be adjusted to each person’s taste. If you are vegetarian or vegan you can ask our dining staff for a vegetarian sandwich or a salad. We also regret to hear about your experience with seasickness and the limited availability of reclining chairs. Unfortunately, our yacht is not large enough to comfortably fit more chairs on the upper deck. In regards to the Dramamine we recommend taking that earlier rather than later so that you are able to enjoy the full experience. Thank you again for your review. We hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future to provide you with a more enjoyable experience. If you have any further suggestions or would like to discuss your visit in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.

Nothing wrong with a little bit of fun out in the sea There is a$20 free to go on board but u must make a reservation but they do as have walk in as well but there is no guarantee you will get in the have a few table games and a lot of slot machines they have about 8 blackjack with a few of them being $10 minimum bet

Literally a scam. Big M is a totally unregulated fraud scheme. They can set the slot machines to any winning percentage they want and even choose when a machine will hit. You're more likely to win flushing your money down the toilet. That's why you see the same plants winning "jackpots" over and over again. Even worse, I caught the Big M intentionally planting bad players at the table games to disrupt the blackjack tables. The casino was very busy and there was a waiting list to get on a table. Yet, the plants were able to float around from table to table making incredibly stupid bets (like splitting 2's when the dealer was showing a 9, hitting on 15 when the dealer was showing a 6, etc). I asked to move to another table, but was told there were no spots available (yet the plants floated between 3 tables). When I questioned why the dealer was not helping the players, I was told to shut up and worry about my own hand by the pit boss. When I showed frustration after these plants ruined the table 11 times in 15 minutes by making very unfavorable/odd bets (e.g., splitting 7's when the dealer was showing a face card, hitting on 15 when the dealer was showing a 6, etc.) and taking bust cards from the dealer, I was called racist names like "cracker" and "white boy" among other insults by the plants. Meanwhile, the dealer was doing very sketchy things. He spilled a shoe all over the table, gathered them up and dealt them after the table saw half the deck. He waived off players requesting hits and would not take corrective action. The dealer would claim he had "21" on every hand playing it off as a joke, then gather up the cards quickly before the table could count what he really had. Multiple times players disputed that they did not lose the hand and the dealer refused to replace the gathered-up cards on the table. At one point, the dealer directed one plant that he needed to "communicate" with another plant at the other end of the table. When I finally got up and left, I was verbally insulted by Big M's plants. The pit boss came running from 20 yards away and screamed at me "they can bet however they want." Why would the first words out of her mouth be to defend the plants rather than try to figure out what the plants were jawing at me about???? It was clearly a set up and a fraud. I'm a well-known poker and blackjack player. Apparently they realized I was on to their scam and 15 minutes later while I was sitting upstairs in the restaurant, I was roughed up by two security guards (both looked like they were fresh off parole) and told not to come back. At this point, I was trapped on the boat fearing for my safety for another hour after being threatened and assaulted by the two Big M casino goons. Would not recommend this place to my worst enemy! Totally rigged!!! Be smart, avoid the Big M.

Jun 28, 2024

The Big M Casino operates over 29 years in this business and we go all by the rules. This person’s all accusations are totally false. He was verbally abusive towards our guests and staff. After several of warnings, we had to ban him from coming to our business in the future because he was continually disturbing our players and staff. It is impossible for any casino, including ours, to alter the winning percentages or outcomes of the games arbitrarily. The notion of "plants" repeatedly winning jackpots is unfounded. All winners are genuine patrons, and each jackpot win is subject to thorough verification by our staff. Winning is purely a matter of luck and chance, with no manipulation involved. We strive to maintain a fair and enjoyable environment at our table games. The behaviors he described, such as making unfavorable bets or disrupting play, are not condoned. The claim that our staff, including dealers and pit bosses, acted inappropriately by refusing to correct errors or engaging in discriminatory behavior is extremely serious. Our team is committed to professionalism and respect for all guests. We do not tolerate any form of harassment or misconduct. The safety and well-being of our guests are our top priorities. Our security personnel are trained to handle situations calmly and professionally. There is no reason to feel unsafe, as he claims. Over all, his accusations are false and he will be banned to enter our property permanently.

Super fun evening. Everyone was helpful and nice. Would absolutely go again! Water was pretty choppy so if you get motion sickness I wouldn't recommend.

I went on a big M on May 30, 2024 me and my best friend we had absolutely the best time ever. The staff was extremely pleasant. They kept asking you if you needed something to drink if there's anything they can do to help we both kept gambling and winning money. The machines were nice and clean even the boat was well-maintained. I give it five stars all the way. The boat ride was really nice just to hang out on the deck I will definitely be back on the boat. This was absolutely hands-down one of the best days that I've had in Myrtle Beach since we moved here. I love everything about Myrtle Beach but this was a nice day and this was also a senior citizen day. Every Thursday you can go for half the price. I will definitely be back.

Today I was on the big M casino boat. I've been on here quite a few times, and never had a problem, but today the dealer was asking us for tips and getting angry, because she was so angry. She wound up, hitting one of my two hands but not the one that I wanted to hit it would not compensate me and I know she did that on purpose. Meanwhile I'm down $1000. I'm calling the Better Business Bureau the gaming commission and They owe me $500 im calling anybody else I can call because I basically got robbed.l She wasn't so angry about the tips and did the right thing I would've won the hand with 125 on each hand they only $500 bottom line

After a thorough investigation, our casino manager has reviewed the footage and, unfortunately, disagrees with your account of the events. According to the footage: • Your first hand was a 10 and a 5. • Your second hand was a 5 and a 2. • The dealer pointed to your first hand, and you took a hit, drawing a face card and busting. • The dealer then pointed to your second hand, and you hit, drawing a 3, then hit again and drew a 7, bringing your total to 17. • You did not begin to complain until the dealer revealed her hand, which was an 18. Given these findings, we are unable to take any action regarding your complaint. Regarding the dealer soliciting tips, this behavior is against our company policy, and we will investigate this matter further. Thank you for your understanding.

This was great day trip for the Hubs and I. We made reservations ahead of the cruise and the parking and check-in process was smooth. The ship was clean and seemed well maintained. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. There were plenty of machines and all seemed to work well. The group around the Blackjack tables seemed to be having a fun time. There were several winners on our cruise. The food was satisfying if lackluster. There was no buffet. The menu consisted of wrap, subs, and hot dogs. The meal comes with chips and a drink. There is a soup option. No photos are allowed in the gambling areas. Seating in the dining area offers great views of the intracoastal waterway. All in all, I am looking forward to our next cruise! There were

In the dining area.

I am not out on the boat very often, but the experience is usually fun. LOVE that smoking is now only allowed outside. The boat is clean and their staff onboard is always very friendly. Remember to only bet what you can afford to lose. Go out on a cruise and have fun!

The ship was beautiful and we had read all of the reviews before we decided to go. Many of the reviews indicate that the staff is rude and unfortunately we found that to be true. When we first got on the boat, we were asking for a players card .....they ask you to sit at a machine and complete your paperwork before returning it to the cage. I didn't understand. I couldn't hear what the girl was saying because I am deaf. The attendant came out from behind the desk and pointed to the seat, clearly annoyed. It was fun- but some work on customer service is definitely necessary. Employees should be acting like cheerleaders & be working to have patrons, excited about the journey and wanting to use the machines.

Had a great time. I lost, but that is what I expected. Try the Big M. It's worth your time.

Big M Casino Cruise I - Little River Review Jump to comments

One of two Big M Casino ships that depart from Little River, South Carolina ,  Big M Casino Ship l is a 400 passenger luxury yacht that departs from  4491 Waterfront Ave in Little River. Big M Casino Ship II can also accommodate 400 passengers and departs from  4491 Mineola Ave. Both of the casino ships depart from Little River, which is just minutes from Myrtle Beach or a quick day trip from Columbia or Charleston, South Carolina, with both day and evening cruises.

The price of the cruise does not include the Big M Buffet.  Dining is optional on both cruises.  Once onboard, passengers may choose to purchase the buffet. All buffets are all-you-can-eat.

Anyone who has been to Vegas recently will recognize some of the new slots and video poker machines on the first and second decks from which to choose from.

Table players will appreciate the wide range of limits. Blackjack, for instance, has tables ranging from the entry $5 min - $200 max to the big boy's $50 min - $1,000 max. If you are new to any of their games, simply check the schedule to arrive 30 minutes early for gaming lessons. Or, you can study and practice some of the games on the  Casino Games Guide .

Replace your salary with tax-free tips 7 tippable jobs that could pay you more.

One connection point between the Republican and Democratic nominees for president is that they both want to eliminate taxes on tips . During a rally in Las Vegas, former President Trump first voiced his support for getting rid of taxes on tips first in June. Kamala Harris echoed the same message — also in Las Vegas — during a rally in early August.

For You: 7 Reasons You Must Speak To a Financial Advisor To Boost Your Savings in 2024

It’s a policy that many service workers would love to see, and it has salaried workers asking questions. Would a tipped job actually pay better than some salary positions if there were no taxes on tips? Which jobs would those be? GOBankingRates asked experts for answers.  Also take a look at how you can earn passive income .

Earning passive income doesn't need to be difficult. You can start this week.

Restaurant Workers

“The restaurant and beverage industry is one that would definitely gain from the removal of tip taxes,” Frank Lee, CEO and founder of XMAKE , explained. Lee went on to discuss how some states like Texas only pay tipped workers $2.13 an hour, so long as their tips at least bring that hourly amount up to the federal minimum wage. “These employees’ take-home compensation may rise significantly as a result of tip tax elimination, improving the stability and satisfaction of their employment.”

James Allsopp, CEO of iNet Ventures , said eliminating taxes on tips could be especially lucrative for servers working in more high-end restaurants. “In upscale restaurants, skilled bartenders and servers can often make very large amounts of money in tips. These jobs could easily pay more than mid-level salaried positions in cities where people tip well.”

Casino Dealers and Croupiers

There is a reason why both Trump and Harris announced their support for tax-free tips in Vegas. Sin City has a ton of workers who would directly benefit from this — especially those working in the casinos.

“Casino dealers working at high-end resorts or in bustling gaming cities like Las Vegas and Atlantic City could experience significant pay boosts,” said Alex Johnson, a certified financial planner and executive leader at Man and Van Star . “Dealers often receive substantial tips from big-spending gamblers, sometimes amounting to hundreds per shift. Without taxes, their net income could rival mid-to-high-level corporate roles, especially during peak tourism seasons or high-roller events. High rollers often tip based on their winnings, and tax-free tips could see dealers in prestigious casinos earning more than financial analysts or engineers.”

Private Chauffeurs

Shuttle drivers to the stars could see their wages go way up with tax-free tips. “Working in cities with a wealthier clientele, such as Los Angeles or New York, private chauffeurs are often tipped generously, especially during events like weddings, celebrity tours, or VIP transport,” Johnson said. “Eliminating taxes on these tips would drastically increase their yearly earnings, putting them on par with managers in more traditional sectors like retail or logistics.”

Luxury Yacht Crew Members

If you’ve seen shows like “Below Deck,” you know that the crew lives for the tips. Now, they’d get to keep even more of that cash and make as much as someone working in tech. “Crew members on superyachts typically receive a gratuity of 5-15% of the charter cost, which, tax-free, could translate into tens of thousands per trip,” Johnson explained. “Crewing on luxury yachts, especially in hotspots like Miami or the Mediterranean, already brings in high tips from wealthy guests. When taxes are eliminated, yacht crew members — who are often tipped handsomely for multi-day charters — could see their incomes surpass office-based project managers or mid-level tech employees.”

Event Planners and Caterers

Working at big events often brings in big tips. Johnson said event planners and caterers could see an income rivaling those closing sales deals. “In elite wedding or corporate events, caterers and event planners often receive large tips for their services. Removing the tax from these earnings could significantly elevate their pay, making these professions more lucrative than some salaried marketing or sales jobs.”

Tour Guides

Those who show tourists around in vacation destinations might see a big bump in their pay if they don’t have to pay taxes on tips. “In places that are popular among tourists, guides can sometimes bring in a lot of money during peak seasons thanks to tips,” Allsopp said. “If you eliminate taxes on those tips, being a guide might start to seem like a better paid job than many traditional salaried positions.”

Personal Care Workers

Those who work to make us look good could also see a big wage increase. “Another job that could see a significant boost is in the personal care industry, such as hairstylists, nail technicians, and massage therapists,” Josh Bolstad, CEO of Niche Ranker , explained. “Many professionals in these roles already receive substantial tips, especially in upscale or urban areas. Without the tax burden on tips, I believe these jobs could become even more lucrative, potentially attracting talent that might otherwise pursue traditional salary-based careers.”

FORT MYERS BEACH, FL - (September 21, 2015) - For nearly 18 years, visitors and locals of Southwest Florida have watched the iconic attraction known as “The Big ‘M’ Casino” ship sail in and out of its port at Moss Marine on Fort Myers Beach. This Fall, the Big “M” Casino announces the ship will be leaving Fort Myers to permanently join its sister ship at the Myrtle Beach, SC port.

The Big “M” is a luxurious 168’ gaming yacht, and has proudly served as Southwest Florida’s only gambling cruise since November of 1997. The ship features popular games, such as Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, Let-It-Ride, 3-Card Poker, and a large variety of slots. Guests of the Big “M” were also invited to enjoy an all-you-can-eat buffet and occasional live music. The Big M Casino family owns two dinner casino cruise ships, which have been located in Florida and South Carolina. Both ships will now be permanently sailing from South Carolina’s Myrtle Beach port.

“The crew of The Big ‘M’ Casino has enjoyed the many years it has been docked at Moss Marine, Fort Myers Beach,” said a spokesperson for The Big “M” Casino. “We have many great memories and have made a lot of dear friends. However, it is time for The Big ‘M’ Casino ship to continue its journey. We wish all of you well, and encourage you to come and visit us in Myrtle Beach, SC.”

The decision was made to relocate the Big “M” due to the high demand in Myrtle Beach, SC, where the Big "M"’s sister ship has been sailing in Little River since May of 2008.
