It has become a landmark in Fort Myers beach since it first opened. And why not? It’s been in the area for 18 long years.
The casino became a fun beach attraction not just to those fond of gambling, but for tourists vacationing in the area.
Now Big “M” Casino, that popular, long-time casino ship, has already shipped out of Southwest Florida and moved up the coast—to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where it will join its sister ship.
The casino’s management cited a high demand for business in that area that’s why they have decided to move up north.
Businesses in Fort Myers Beach (Get to know the area more at: http://www.visitflorida.com/en-us/cities/fort-myers-beach.html) said they don’t really expect Big M Casino’s departure to hurt their bottom lines.
However, the president of the Fort Myers Beach Chamber of Commerce admitted it is not yet possible to say for sure if their area will be financially affected by the casino’s exit.
The chamber also said they will be waiting if another casino boat will move into Fort Myers to replace Big M Casino’s place.
