does anyone know where I can find contact numbers for the casino ships in Eilat ? thats if they are still there.4 ships have been mentioned and there is one contact number but what about the others?Gambling can only be good for Israel as it will generate a handsome income for the country.any advice welcome,thanks!

I will dig into this. I have been out with the flu for a few days. Thanks for signing up! Bernie

ive found a few numbers for the casino contacts for israel but none seem to be right,i'll keep on digging as i'd like to know how much they pay now

I found the info below. I don't know how accurate it is, but I hope it helps:

thanks for the numbers,ive tried to phone those numbers but they seem not to be in use or something,i'll try again in a few days.I see that a suicide bomber killed three people in Eilat this morning.I hope things get better,thanks again

:( that sucks. I pray for the people in the entire Middle East region. Not for the politicians / terrorists, but for the every day people who just want to live in peace.

We will also keep our eyes peeled for correct numbers - if you find them, please post them for us, too! Thanks for signing up Lisa,

Hi Lisa I think I have some good news for you and a good starting point for your Israel Casino Cruise searches....

Mano Cruises has three boats:
Iris, Royal Iris (used to be called The Azur) and the Jasmine. I didn't find much out about the Jasmine cruise ship whether it has casinos or not. But I did find out the other two boats, the Iris and the Royal Iris both have casinos with Roulette, too, so we have a match! This is a link to the site with the boats: www.mano.co.il/boats.asp that indicates that they have casinos onboard, etc...

And here are the contact numbers (they have four offices): 1700-700-666

These folks don't want you to talk about gambling (because it's not allowed in Israel - you have to get on the boats and get out of Israel to avoid breaking the law) .... BUT, they were very helpful and if you have questions about anything else, like travel, security, etc... give them a call.

Best regards and again, good luck getting a job on that casino cruise ship!

thanks for that,i'll make a few phone call in a day or two,
