On July 2, the Mississippi Gaming Commission issued an order requiring face coverings to be worn by all persons in the state’s casino properties.

The new Foxwoods Resort Casino at Biloxi Pointe will open in East Biloxi in 2019. The other Indian casinos in the state are owned by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw. A total of 3,500 gaming machines and 70 table games operate at their Pearl River Resort. Civil war buffs can tour the Vicksburg National Military Park while on the way to gamble at one of the casinos in located on the Mississippi River: Resort Casino, Isle of Capri Casino, Ameristar Casino, Horizon Casino, and Rainbow. Located just south of Memphis and a short drive from Oxford, Sam's Town Hotel and Gambling Hall offers resort amenities in a beautiful, relaxing setting. From golfing to gambling to world-class entertainment, visiting Sam's Town is a memorable experience.
