Mississippi land-based casinos gaming guide and regulations:
USA casino guides Index
Mississippi was the third US state to legalize riverboat casino gambling when it was approved by that state’s legislature in 1990. The law restricts casinos to coast waters (including the Bay of St. Louis and the Back Bay of Biloxi) along the Mississippi River and in navigable waters of counties that border the river.
Mississippi law also requires that riverboats be permanently moored at the dock and they are not permitted to cruise. This allows the riverboats to offer 24-hour dockside gambling. The Isle of Capri in Biloxi was the first casino to open in August 1992 followed one month later by The President.
Since the law does not require that the floating vessel actually resemble a boat, almost all of the casinos are built on barges. This gives them the appearance of a land-based building, rather than a riverboat.
All casinos are normally open 24 hours and offer: slots, video poker, blackjack, craps, roulette, and caribbean stud poker. Other games include: baccarat, mini baccarat, poker, pai gow poker, let it ride, three-card poker, casino war, big six wheel, and keno. The minimum gambling age is 21.
