A floating casino in Indian is to be revamped with a $485 million refurbishment.

The Horseshoe Casino in Hammond is set to deploy a floating platform said to be up to six times its current size as a result of the investment.

Reports in the Northwest Indiana Times suggest that the giant platform will be assembled in parts before being shipped up the Mississippi and Illinois rivers to the Port of Indiana.

In total six modules will be constructed, which will then be linked together and finished in summer 2008.

The casino will include a 3,000-seat entertainment arena, as well as vastly increased number of table games and slots.
