Locating Multiple Ground Faults

The Blue Chip Casino in Michigan City, IN

 

ImageIndiana law states that a casino operation has to take place on a free floating self propelled pleasure craft. A land based operation as in cities like Las Vegas or Atlantic City is prohibited. Boyd gaming had early on discovered that the law can be used to one’s advantage by creating a semi land/water based operation, the so called casino ship. This is however no small undertaking. It requires that a body of water be provided that is capable of supporting a ship with cruiseliner dimensions.

  • Dear Mike,

    How interesting!!

    We have casinos two states away in Mississippi, that used to be required to be in the water. After Hurricane Katrina, and the 'stranding' of the barges on the middle of US Hwy 98, they were allowed to rebuild on "land" but still, any remote building fed by a feeder, is subject to the same problems.

    How interesting that a single Quad receptacle could put that much current in an inappriproiate place.

    Thanks

    Lynn Adms
