Poker Rooms in Mississippi

Mississippi once rivaled Las Vegas as a poker destination due to its concentration of major casino resorts, particularly in the Tunica and Biloxi markets. The Beau Rivage in Biloxi hosts the Gulf Coast Poker Championship and remains the state's premier poker destination, while Horseshoe Tunica anchors the northern market with the state's largest poker room at 25 tables. Approximately 12 active rooms across Biloxi, Tunica, and Vicksburg serve roughly 150 tables statewide.

Legal Framework

Mississippi legalized dockside casino gambling in 1990, with the first commercial casinos opening in 1992. Casinos must be within 800 feet of a navigable waterway but are effectively land-based in operation since a 2005 law change following Hurricane Katrina allowed casinos to be built on land adjacent to the water. The Mississippi Gaming Commission oversees all commercial casino operations. Tribal gaming operates separately on Choctaw Nation lands under IGRA.
