The minimum gambling age at all Biloxi casinos is 21. Louis-area, and one is located in Gulfport, just west of Biloxi. However, some Biloxi casinos are located in the Back Bay of Biloxi, two are located in the nearby Bay St. Most of the casinos in Biloxi are located along Highway 90 on the shore of the Gulf of Mexico. This gives those casinos the appearance of a land-based building, rather than a riverboat.īecause of the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, the Mississippi legislature allowed the state’s gulf coast casinos to be rebuilt on land within 800-feet of the shoreline and some Biloxi casinos have been rebuilt in that manner. Since Mississippi law doesn’t require the floating vessels to actually resemble a boat, most all of the casinos in Biloxi, as well as elsewhere in Mississippi, are built on barges. Both of those Biloxi casinos are now gone. On August 1, 1992, the Isle of Capri in Biloxi was the first Mississippi casino to open, followed one month later by The President. This allows the riverboats to offer 24-hour dockside gambling. Mississippi gaming law requires all riverboat casinos to be permanently moored at a dock and they are not allowed to cruise. However, there are also some Biloxi casinos that are land-based.
Many of the casinos in Biloxi are all located on riverboats.
