Alabama Shipyard Inc will be building a casino boat for Hollywod Park, Inc. who will operate the cruising riverboat from Belterra Resort and Casino in Indiana about 35 miles south of Cincinnati Ohio. Shore side facilities will include a hotel and golf course, while the vessel will contain 1,800 gaming positions.

The Hollywood Park Casino vessel will be the fourteenth casino vessel built by Atlantic Marine companies and the second such vessel to be built at Alabama Shipyards. At 370x104 feet, it will be one of the largest casino vessels in operation. Propulsion will be provided by three 12-cylinder Cummins KTA38 M2 engines each producing 1300 HP at 1800 RPM for a total of 3900 HP turning cardon shafts and driving three Shottel rudder propellers. The three driving props will all be located aft with a 400 Kw bow thruster forward.
