The President Casino in Biloxi was opened aboard a riverboat docked at the Broadwater Resort Marina in August 1992. In June 1995, President Casino replaced the riverboat with the former Mississippi Gold Shore Casino barge. On April 15, 2005, the President Casino barge was purchased by Silver Slipper Gaming with the intention of operating it under the name of President Casino until it could be moved to their site in Hancock County (Waveland) Mississippi. [1] On August 29, 2005 Hurricane Katrina tore the barge from its moorings and washed it ashore 1/2 mile west of the Broadwater Resort Marina. The barge was a total loss, it was cut up as scrap and removed by a salvage company.
