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.

  • Interesting.... on page 6 when working on an energized panel it notes safety procedures were in place. Where is the PPE for this? (NFPA 70E) Perhaps it is a typo,and they meant de-energized. Sitting on top a ladder is not a usual safety practice either (p9).

    In regards to Don's comment, my bet is if the slots were turned off people would live through it.
