Frequently Asked Questions - Answered
  1. I have heard that the Mississippi Coast is still in shambles, is that true? The Coast has still much to offer while it rebuilds. The areas where the casinos are located are largely back to normal and the inland areas, shops, and golf courses are fine. While there is still a lot of reconstruction underway and needed, the Mississippi Coast remains a beautiful place visit and you will see the exciting changes the post-Katrina era is bringing.
     
  2. Is there transportation available from nearby airports? Yes. Besides car rentals, most casinos offer transportation service to and from the airports in Memphis and at the Gulfport/Biloxi International Airport.
     
  3. How old must someone be to play in the casinos? Mississippi law requires at you must be at least 21 years old to play in a casino. If you look young, you can expect security at the casino's entrance will check your identification. You may also receive a stamp on your hand. If you appear to be young, you may be further asked to provide your ID while playing by a dealer, security, or a floor supervisor. People younger than 21 can enter the casino to go to a restaurant when escorted by an adult if they must cross the casino floor, so there is no reason not to take children to the many great restaurants available.

  13. Do the casinos in Mississippi ever close? Mississippi's casinos are 24-hour a day operations, and generally do not close. There are rare exceptions. For example, casinos on the Gulf Coast may temporarily close if there is a hurricane or tropical storm forecast to hit nearby. Riverfront casinos may close if there are unusually high river levels. In every case, the closure is well announced in the news media. MississippiCasinos.com will also carry those notices.
     
  14. Can I use casino chips  from one casino in Mississippi in another Mississippi casino? Yes you can. The chips can be played without exchanging them, however the dealers will substitute those chips with those from their casino when played. You should ask your dealer, or the cashier about the chips if you have any questions. It is normal for the dealers and cashiers to examine carefully the chips from other casinos. The best practice though is to cash out your chips at the casino where you got them.
     
  15. Is nearby parking available at Mississippi Casinos? Yes. Ample parking is available at all Mississippi Casinos. Parking is also available for large vehicles. Valet and self parking is also available.
