Casinos in Mississippi

28 casinos across 12 cities

Mississippi deserves more respect in the American casino conversation. It was one of the first states outside Nevada and New Jersey to legalize commercial gambling, and the industry it built along the Gulf Coast and the Mississippi River corridor has had real staying power. Biloxi in particular has grown into a genuine resort destination. Beau Rivage and Golden Nugget are full-service properties with good dining and comfortable rooms, not just casino floors with hotels attached. The table limits tend to be friendlier than Vegas for players on a budget, and the Southern hospitality is not a cliche. Add Gulf seafood, blues music in the Delta, and some of the most interesting history in the country, and Mississippi makes a strong case for itself as a gaming travel destination that most people overlook.
