Royal City Star Website Information shows The riverboat was brought from New Orleans, on a heavy lift ship called the Swan and off-loaded at Royal Roads (near Victoria) where the ship underwent some conversion and overhaul work.
The Casino opened at New Westminster, not Vancouver, on Oct. 6, 1999 as the Royal City Star Casino. Not sure when t it became the Royal City Star Riverboat Casino, but the change took place in the phone book between the issues for 2001/2002 and 2002/2003. The Annual Reports of the BC Lottery Corporation (who control the gaming in BC) still used the name Royal City Star Casino in their 2004/2005 Annual Report.
