MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Omega Commercial Finance Corporation (OTCBB:OCFN) announced today that it has finalized its acquisition of a luxury casino cruise ship with Oceans 21-Miami LLC (“Oceans 21”) and its majority shareholder. The casino cruise ship’s name shall be changed to the “Omega Royale” and will be deployed in international waters as part of the offshore casino cruise industry.
The Omega Royale will be a 100,000 square foot ultra luxurious resort style casino vessel equipped with a 49,000 square foot, state-of-the-art casino that will include approximately 500 player tracking slot machines and 64 table games consisting of Baccarat, Black Jack, Craps and Roulette.

Management believes that their casino operations have a distinct competitive advantage over its primary competitors. Visitors who prefer playing Roulette, Baccarat, Craps, a wider variety of slot games and the ability to wager on sports will have the ability to do so on the Omega Royale.
Additionally, through strategic planning, the company has identified an unprecedented way to turn over its gambling clientele several times a day without the vessel having to leave its international waters. The use of two catamaran shuttles will give the company the ability to transport up to 300 gambler’s less than 60 minutes allowing the casino and its operations to run at full capacity virtually 24 hours a day. This unique ability to sustain constant gambling operations mixed with the vessels 2,000 passenger capacity should allow for a consistent revenue stream for the company and its operations.
The anticipated launching of the Omega Royale is scheduled to coincide with the 2009 Super Bowl, one of the foremost gambling days of the year in Tampa, Florida. Omega Royale will cater to the offshore major metropolitan areas and will be located in international waters with its multiple U.S. Flag catamaran passenger shuttles. Additionally, as a “foreign-flagged vessel” the Omega Royale can dock anywhere in the US and abroad.
