Editing Little River, South Carolina (section)

==Arts and culture==
The community is host to an annual [[Callinectes sapidus|Blue Crab]] Festival each May.

During the 21 years that South Carolina had legalized [[video poker]], Little River's location near the North Carolina state line made the community a major center for the activity. In 1996, local churches began protesting legalized gambling in what had become Little [[Reno]], and the state outlawed the games in 2000. Two years before the video poker ban, [[casino]] [[boat]]s began operating and continue to do so in [[federal waters]] because the state has not specifically banned them. Little River has the state's only casino boat, The Big M Casino.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.thesunnews.com/2010/07/18/1589706/poker-debate-lives-on.html |title=Video poker debate lives on; Little River once dubbed Little Reno |last=Wilson |first=Zane |work=[[The Sun News]] |date=July 18, 2010 |access-date=July 18, 2010}}</ref>
