Big M Casino Boat
Any opinions or experience with the Big M Casino boat ? We are here for the week and this weather has us looking for things to do - thank you for any help
Any of you degens near Myrtle Beach? I'm trying to solve a mystery.
Today the big M casino boat is the only place in SC to go play live, but before big M, there was a different company or at least the boat was called something else. I'm trying to remember what it was called. I went out on it twice, and it was two of the best gambling trips…

Are there any boat casinos or regular casinos in Charleston SC?
Doing a bachelor a party there with some deep see fishing looking for ideas and other places to have fun. Gambling would be nice but I know there are strict laws in SC. Anyone know a good place if any near there?

What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors generally find the Big M Casino Little River to be a fun and affordable gambling cruise experience. The friendly staff, reasonable prices for drinks and food, and scenic views from the upper deck are frequently praised. Some guests note that the slot machines could be updated, and the travel time to international waters reduces actual gaming time.
"The only place to gamble in SC is a 30 minute drive from Myrtle Beach. Plenty of machines and inexpensive drinks & food. The upper deck is for non-gamblers, smokers, and a place to hang out, drink & relax. It is as advertised, a 5hr cruise. The part not mentioned is it takes 1hr to get to international waters before you can gamble and 45+min once out of international waters on the return. Men must wear a sleeved shirt/tee shirt which is also not mentioned until you are boarding. BONUS: They gave me a free tee shirt to wear that I could keep. Several regulars asked where I got the souvenir tee and said they'll try the sleeveless shirt trick next visit."

"Was a fun and awesome time. Crew was very nice. Met some very nice people as well. Got to see a beautiful sunset and the people we met also took a good pic of hubby and I"
Tanya West
"So much fun! The boat was exceptionally clean, friendly staff, and a great experience. Whether you choose to gamble or not, this is a very nice 5 hour cruise, with basic food options (sub sandwich, wraps, or pizza) and very reasonable drink prices. There were several jackpot winners on our trip and the slot machines do pay out a little, enough to keep you interested and playing. My only complaint is that a lot of the slots are old, they could do with updating. This is a great activity for couples or small groups. We really enjoyed our first trip and will definitely be going again."
