Gulfside Casino Partnership, the owners of Island View Casino Resort in Mississippi, has filed a $10M federal lawsuit against its insurance company for COVID-19 losses. Gulfside Casino Partnership is also demanding $90M in punitive damages, attorney’s fees, and interest.

The Misissippi casino says that it has lost $46.M when it was forced to close from March 16 to May 21, 2020 per instruction of the Mississippi Gaming Commission. However, the policy only covers up to $10M.

The case alleges breach of contract and negligence against the Georgia-based Westchester Surplus Lines Insurance Co. which is affiliated with Chubbs. According to a report from the AP Westchester divided shares of the risk to nine other insurers.

Won’t Pay Unless There is Physical Damages

Gulfport lawyer Joe Sam Owen, who represents Chubbs, said that legal claims related to COVID-19 have boiled down to the definition of “physical damage”. As a general rule, insurance companies argue that properties must suffer actual physical damage to recover losses under their insurance policies.

But Gulfside Casino argues that its policy specifically covers the losses caused by its inability to accept bookings or cancelled bookings brought about by “a contagious or infectious disease at an insured location, and as determined by a public or civil authority”. Because its insurance policy had cancellation coverage, the Mississippi casino paid $408,268.00 per annum for the premium.

Not Covered

Last July, insurance consultant Crawford Global Technical Services was tasked to review the claim of the Mississippi casino. In a letter sent to Island View Casino, Crawford Global said that “As a general matter, the policies afford coverage only when there has been direct physical loss, damage or destruction. In the absence of such damage, there is not coverage.”

Crawford Global added that pollutants and contaminants such as virus are not covered. Likewise, communicable disease is not covered in other policy language. Last July, Circus Circus LV also filed a lawsuit against American International Group (AIG), joining a long list of companies in various industries pursuing litigation against its insurers.

Island View's Beach Casino and Hotel complex

The Island View Casino is a casino and hotel located in Gulfport, Mississippi.

History[edit]

The Island View is the successor to the Copa Casino, which was first located on a docked cruise ship and then a barge-based building at the Mississippi State Docks, across U.S. Highway 90 (Beach Blvd.) from the current location. The Copa and its neighbor, Grand Casino Gulfport, were both destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. When Grand Casino's parent Harrah's Entertainment decided not to rebuild, it sold the Grand site to Copa owners Rick Carter and Terry Green. When Mississippi legislators changed casino laws to permit new casinos to be built on dry land, the duo used the Grand's former hotel as a temporary casino for Phase I of their redevelopment. Currently the Island View Casino is the only casino left in Gulfport after the destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina.

The new facility (Phase I) opened on September 18, 2006, with 1,033 video poker and slot machines and 15 table games, a 350-seat Island View buffet, C&G Grille, and a 563-room hotel.

Phase II was completed on May 14, 2007, adding more gaming space, as well as, Emeril's Gulf Coast Fish House and a new multi-level parking garage.

In June 2010, Emeril's Gulf Coast Fish House closed and was replaced by Carter Green Steakhouse.^[2]

In May 2008, Island View Casino opened a 9 table, 24-hour poker room, but the poker room closed in 2010 and was replaced by a slot tournament area.

In December 2009, a 24-hour Coffee Shop opened.

Additional improvements have included a new players club program (Island View Insider), a website for player use, and a guest swimming pool, which opened in 2011.

Another amenity includes the Windance Country Club, an 18-hole championship golf course located in Gulfport.^[3]

In April 2015, Island View Casino opened its Beach Tower hotel complex, which increased its accommodations to 970 guest rooms.^[1] The Beach Tower is located south of U.S. Route 90 in the former Grand Casino Gulfport property. Beach Tower amenities include seven food and beverage venues, spa, fitness center, gift shop, saltwater pool, and meeting facilities. Construction of a $75-million casino next to the Beach Tower began in May 2017 and was designed by architect Edward Vance of EV&A Architects. The casino was completed in June 2018.^[4]^[5]
