The Isle of Capri in Biloxi, Mississippi has said it expects. To open a 33,000 sq ft temporary casino. In the convention & events center on the Isle of Capri property in Biloxi. Sometime in the first part of December. It will have 940 slot machines, 25 table games, and a small poker room. I donot think any silverstrike machines is in the slot mix. I will have to check after the casino opens.
It will be the first gulf coast casino to open since Katrina. And to be the first LAND BASED casino on the gulf coast. Now that the Mississippi state government enacted a law. That now allows casions on the gulf coast to conduct gaming 800 feet from the waters edge.
The Isle of Capri says, it expects to have a PERMANENT 100,000 sq ft casino, in 12 to 18 months. That will be over land and water(Gulf of Mexico). This will not be on a floating barge or boat.
