Mississippi has a total of 26 casinos - six landbased and 20 riverboat casinos - dotted along the Mis- sissippi River and Gulf Coast. Tey all offer slots, table games and sports betting and are regulated by the Mississippi Gaming Commission. Casino gaming was first authorised back in
1990 but was limited to riverboat casinos, however after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 a new law was passed to allow commercial landbased casinos to open on the Gulf Coast so long as they remained within 800 feet of the water. In 2018 a law enabled the casinos to offer retail sports betting. Tere’s no limit on the number of casinos
which can open and in 2023 the GGR for the casino market reached $2.48bn with $294.3m in tax revenue. Te total GGR was divided up in areas with $327.2m from the Central region which has seven casinos with a total of 4,177 slots and 62 table games, $1.59bn from the Coastal region with 12 casinos and a total of 11,488 slots and 452 table games and $565.5m from the Northern region with seven casinos and a total of 21,000 slots and 692 table games. Of this GGR $2.05bn came from slots, $372.7m
from table gaming and $51.2m from sports betting. Te sports betting sector saw the biggest decline
in revenue with a 15.8 per cent drop due to com- petition from neighbouring Louisiana. Online sports betting is only permitted in
casinos after House Bill 774 failed to make headway in May which would have opened the door for
76
online sports betting outside of casinos in the state. It is said online sports betting could bring the
state $25m in tax revenues to be used in repairing infrastructure. Te bill would required online companies to contract with the casinos and would only be open for those players in the state. At the moment a handful of online sportsbooks
operate in Mississippi including BetMGM (Beau Rivage Resort in Biloxi and Gold Strike Casino in Tunica) and Caesars (Harrah’s Gulf Coast Casino in Biloxi). Meanwhile there are three tribal casinos in Mississippi operated by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians - Bok Homa Casino in Heidelberg plus the Golden Moon Hotel and Casino and Silver Star Hotel and Casino which are located at the tribe’s Pearl River Complex in Choctaw. Last year the tribe began a new project for a
$25m casino and travel plaza in Louisville to include 150 slots and sports betting. Te location is to be called Crystal Sky and was due to open by the end of 2024.
