By the end of the summer, 20 commercial and two tribal sportsbooks had opened for sports betting. The 22-page document makes no allowance for an “integrity fee” or royalty to be paid out the professional sports leagues. It covered everything from definitions of sports betting terms to how to pay out wagers. In June 2018, the Mississippi Gaming Commission’s website rolled out their regulations.

The Golden Moon Hotel and Casino and the Bok Homa Casino, both under the Pearl River Resort umbrella, now have sports betting lounges. With these changes in their policies, no wonder we won't be visitng very often, and no wonder their business appears to be declining.In addition, tribal casinos owned by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians have opened sportsbooks. For that reason, we often just leave and go to one of the more popular casinos. In fact, the craps table is often closed in the morning. The last few times we stayed there, we found that they did not have many table games open in the morning on weekdays. They should take into consideration where their customers are travelling from - in our case, it is a 12 hour drive, so we cannot always make our visits within a six month timeline. Also, now they are also removing our reward comp dollars after only 6 months.

This time, since we did not get the free room offer, we stayed at other casinos in the area where we do get this perk, so we probably will never get the free room offer again. When we inquired they said it all depends on the amount of playing time, but as far as we could tell, we have not changed our playing time - naturally when we actually stay at the hotel we would have more time to play, so since we did stay there last time our playing time had not changed.

In the past we also received a free buffet coupon, not this time. This is the first time in many years that we did not receive complimentary rooms. We visit the Tunica area and the casinos two - three times a year and have always rated Hollywood Casino/Hotel very highly, but not this time.
