Construction and site improvements have begun on a ferry service that will transport up to 100 gamblers across the Ohio River three times an hour between Northern Kentucky to Full House Resorts’ Rising Star Casino in Indiana. The improvements include the ferry boat landings and access roads to them. Full House Chief Executive Officer Dan Lee said, “It’s a pretty a big deal for us. It makes us physically closer to a lot of people.”
Las Vegas-based Full House recently completed construction of the ferry boat, which includes a push tug and a 10-car barge.
Lee said Full House was planning “significant improvements” to Rising Star’s main entrance, including indoor trees, flooring, lighting and furniture. The property also includes a300-room hotel. “We will have significantly refurbished the arrival by the time ferry service begins in early July,” Lee said.
