- Wednesday, 5 Oct 2005
In a daring robbery of a gambling cruise ship recently, thieves made off with over $100,000. The cruise ship set sail out of Freeport where passengers enjoy fine dining, entertainment and of course casino gambling games aboard the ship. Luckily nobody was hurt or injured in the armed robbery of the casino boat. Said Paul Armano a passenger on the casino boat at the time about the robbery: "I don't think it's going to stop people from gambling on the boat. It gives you something to think about, but no".
In fact customers have been flocking to the casino cruise ship to play all their favorite games. The gambling onboard is very much comparable to a land based casino except the casino is on water. The same great selection of gambling games is available for players to choose from including poker, blackjack and of course slots, video poker and roulette games. Craps is also very popular.
According to the police report, 5 men robbed the casino boat at about 7:30 at night. The casino cruiser had not left the port when the robbers came onboard and ordered everybody on the grown while holding the owner hostage at gun point. . The owner then lead the thieves to the money. Revenues aboard casino boats are generally high due to the large volume of gambling aboard the ship.
