Mississippi is legendary for an easy going pace and a general laid-back attitude. But, everybody also needs a little adventure to get their adrenaline flowing. And the state's casinos are guaranteed to help you blow off a little steam.

You can find Mississippi casinos in seven counties. No matter where you're traveling in the state, you're always within a short drive of non-stop action. All casinos are 24 hours a day, seven days a week the fun never ends.

When you walk into one of the state's casinos, your heart starts to beat just a little faster from the excitement of the atmosphere. The bright lights, the sounds and the thrills grab hold and you're set to play.

When you're ready to jump in, you'll find there are plenty of choices on the floor. To start, test your luck with the slots - there's nothing to it. Now that you're warmed up, head to the tables. Try some blackjack, roulette or craps.

You might even find yourself at the baccarat table. Fill out a keno ticket or two. And then take a seat for a few hands of poker. Mississippi offers enough games to make it interesting, challenging and entertaining. You'll have a blast.

But keep in mind, there's more to your evening than gaming. You should make sure to refuel with mouthwatering Southern cuisine at any number of top-notch casino restaurants.

Once you've had your fill, make your way to one of the ballrooms or auditoriums for a spectacular show. The state's casinos consistently present world-class performers. Stars such as Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, James Brown and Chuck Berry have played to packed houses many times.

When you're ready to call it a night, just take the elevator to your luxurious room. You can get a jump on the next day with a morning round of golf.

As you can see, Mississippi gaming fits the bill for a great time. All you need are a carefree attitude, a stack of chips and your hot streak.

Casinos Tour Itinerary

THE DELTA

Day 1
The excitement starts with a short drive from Memphis to Tunica, Robinsonville and Lula. Across the levee, along the winding Mississippi River, discover a sparkling array of casinos - bright lights, music and plenty of non-stop action. Try your luck at the slot machines and gaming tables. Enjoy bountiful, mouthwatering cuisine. Or take a seat for glittering shows and concerts. At the 1,200-seat Bluesville Nightclub, patrons will enjoy blues, country and rock music performances year-round. Make plans to spend the night at one of the many fine resort hotels or a bed and breakfast inn. Recreational vehicle facilities are available at many of the casinos.

Day 2
After a good night's rest in luxury accommodations enjoy an early breakfast. Then spend the rest of the morning relaxing at the spa and around the pool. Stretch your legs on the jogging and walking paths. Slam your opponent in a vigorous game of tennis. Or play a round on one of the 18-hole championship golf courses. Many casinos offer children's areas with educational entertainment and video arcades. Visit the Blues Legends Hall of Fame, and check out the Goods Gallery Gift Shop. Order lunch at one of the fine casino restaurants. Get in some shopping at an outlet mall. And resume your position at the slot machines and gaming tables. As evening approaches, prepare for another night of ritzy dining and glitzy entertainment.

Day 3
Once you wake up, a full Southern breakfast will fortify you for the exciting day ahead. For the fun of it, strike off down legendary Highway 61, "The Blues Highway." As you drive along, listen carefully. What sounds like tires thumping against the pavement, is really the heartbeat of the South. You'll have just entered the land of the Delta blues, so pop in some of your favorite rhythm and blues. You'll want to pay tribute to all the great blues artists in Clarksdale with a tour of the Delta Blues Museum. Most artists you know, such as B.B. King, Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf, are all from Mississippi. As evening approaches return to your hotel. Relax, freshen up and prepare for a full night of entertainment. When morning comes, continue your Mississippi casino adventure by heading south to Greenville.

Day 4
Begin your Mississippi casino journey in Greenville, where the dice are rolling, the slots are hot, and the gaming tables are fast and furious. Take time to visit the Winterville Mounds State Museum for a look at one of the largest groups of Indian mounds in the Mississippi Valley. The Greenville Flood Museum and Old Number One Firehouse Museum will be an entertaining way to learn about early machinery. After lunch, venture to nearby Leland and tour the "Birthplace of the Frog" exhibit, a tribute to Muppets® creator and Mississippi native Jim Henson. Then return to your hotel and get ready for an evening of thrills at the roulette wheels and gaming tables of the casinos along the river. But don't stay up too late - tomorrow will be a very busy day.

THE PINES

Day 1 and 2
Your gaming adventure continues with a trip to Choctaw, just west of Philadelphia, and Mississippi's only land-based casino. With a generous Southern-style breakfast under your belt, head east on Highway 82 to I-55 and south to Vaiden. From there continue southeast on Highway 35 to Carthage. At Carthage, head east on Highway 16. Before you know it, you're pulling into the Pearl River Resort, home to the Silver Star Casino & Hotel, and Golden Moon Casino & Hotel. Each offers ultra-modern resort facilities, with your choice of two 18-hole championship golf courses, fabulous four-star restaurants, top-name entertainers, concerts, and thrilling casino action. Their latest editions include the new Geyser Falls Water Park and the Hard Rock Beach Club. Once you've polished off lunch, take in an afternoon round of gaming. Sit back and enjoy a dazzling concert that night, then hit the tables again for a few more hours of thrills.

CAPITAL/RIVER REGION

Day 1
Following breakfast, continue on your way to Vicksburg, "The Gibraltar of the Confederacy”, by taking Highway 16 west to I-55 south thru Jackson, where you will head west on I-20. At Vicksburg find out about the Union forces led by General U.S. Grant, who laid siege to the city for 47 days. The battlesite is now the Vicksburg National Military Park. You can walk, ride, or bike through the 1,800 lush acres of strategy markers and impressively ornate monuments. The visitors' center features Civil War artifacts, dioramas and a narrative film. And make sure to stroll through the USS Cairo (kay-ro) Gunboat Museum, which is also on the grounds. Next, consider a thrilling hydro-jet tour of historic sites and homes along the Mississippi River. Browse through the Biedenharn Coca-Cola® Museum, where the famous beverage was first bottled, in 1894. Tour the magnificent old antebellum homes throughout the city. They're beautifully maintained and many are filled with original antique furnishings. In the evening, enjoy dinner and gaming on board one of several casinos permanently stationed at the river's edge. You've had a long day, so treat yourself to a restful night in an elegant bed and breakfast inn. And if you are too excited to sleep, no problem - Mississippi casinos never close.

Day 2
To continue your casino action, head southwest to the oldest permanent settlement on the Mississippi River, Natchez. The city revels in a wealth of historic antebellum homes and charming Victorian mansions - many of which are on the National Register of Historic Places. But ironically, in the early 19th century, the Natchez Under-the-Hill area was known as the "Barbary Coast" of the Mississippi River. Today, travelers will discover an interesting collection of restaurants, shops and taverns nestled beneath the bluffs in this historic district. And for more great casino excitement, travel further down Silver Street to Natchez Landing and climb aboard the riverboat-style Isle of Capri Casino. Plan to spend the afternoon in some of the finest antique shops in the South. Tour Grand Village of the Natchez Indians for a glimpse at the first Americans. The Mostly African Market displays brilliant ethnic arts and crafts by popular artisans. And a carriage tour of the Garden District would be an excellent way to cap off the afternoon. When the day is done, make your way back to the casino for an evening of tables and slots. The best part is that you can take all the time you like. After an evening of gaming and dining, spend the night in the casino hotel or wrap yourself in the comfort of a historic bed and breakfast inn.

Day 3
Once you've taken a final look through the historic home where you slept, head out to the Natchez National Historical Park and its centerpiece, Melrose. The stately home has appeared in several motion pictures, including John Jakes' North and South. Afterward, stop by the Old South Winery for a sip of their fine muscadine wine and a tour of their wine-making facility. If you're up for an adventurous day trip, branch out to nearby Washington for a tour of Historic Jefferson College. Or visit Port Gibson, the town General U.S. Grant found "too beautiful to burn." For a great afternoon, walk through several open homes, churches and the Grand Gulf Military Monument Park. On the way back to Natchez, be sure to wander among the Ruins of Windsor - the dramatic remains of Mississippi's largest antebellum mansion ever. The day has been long, but the excitement of testing your luck is just Under-the-Hill.

COASTAL REGION

Day 1
Your Mississippi Gulf Coast casino adventure begins along Highway 90, the "Hospitality Highway." The 26 miles of sandy shoreline - ranking among the nation's Top 10 Beaches - is bordered by the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Mexico. And along this coast, you will also discover one of America's newest hot spots. This is the home to spectacular casino thrills, fine restaurants, first-class resort hotels, a wide assortment of attractions and championship golf courses. For starters, browse through Moran's Art Studio, the Mardi Gras and the Museum Maritime and Seafood Industry Museum. After a delicious lunch of fresh seafood, visit one of the many fabulous casinos and sample the excitement waiting at the gaming tables and slots. Begin the evening with dinner followed by a Las Vegas-style casino show. Then continue your gaming experience on into the night.

Day 2
With breakfast behind you, travel to nearby Gulfport. Take your time with the paintings of the Gillespie Art Gallery and the sea lions of the Marine Life Oceanarium. Make plans to go to the Gulf Coast Winery, which offers tours and wine tasting. And picturesque Ocean Springs is as beautiful as when it was settled in 1699. Explore The
Doll House, Shearwater Pottery and the Walter Anderson Museum of Art for wonderful craftsmanship. Then return to Gulfport or Biloxi and spend the evening at the casinos enjoying the best in dining and entertainment. Treat yourself by spending the night in a luxury resort hotel or in the comfort of a fine bed and breakfast inn.

Day 3
You'll want to rise early to chart your course for your continued Mississippi casino adventure. Stretch your legs with a walking tour of historic Biloxi. Examine the Biloxi Lighthouse, built in 1848, and stand beneath the widespread branches of Friendship Oak. Stop off for lunch at a local restaurant before going to Beauvoir,
the last home of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, and its recently opened Presidential Library. Consider riding the ferry to Ship Island, where you can stroll along the beach and tour historic Fort Massachusetts. Back on shore, the John C. Stennis Space Center is NASA's testing site for all space shuttle engines. And that night, sit down to incredible cuisine at one of the fine casino restaurants. Wrap it all up with a spectacular evening of gaming in the state that offers the very best casino action.

You will be interacting with the dealers of the individual games. They deal your hand, give you the dice and spin the roulette wheel. After each turn, they collect losing bets and award winning bets. Don't be afraid to ask your dealer questions - they'll gladly put you on the
right track.

Floor Supervisors
The floor supervisors stand behind the tables. They oversee the dealers of several games, offer service to the customer and assist with any unusual ruling.

Table Games

Chips
Transactions are the first thing you need to do to get started. You can only make chip exchanges at special windows - not at the tables themselves. Place the amount you want down and ask for "change." Once you have your chips, always keep them on the table in front of you on the felt.

Wagering
Each game has a specific place for you to put your chips. Once you have made your decision, your wager will stay in that place until the end of the play. The dealer will then either pay or collect each of the players' bets. It's only at this point you can raise or lower your next wager.

Cashing Out
As mentioned before, no cash is kept at the tables. So when you decide to leave, ask the dealer to "color up" your chips. The dealer will then convert your chips into larger denominations for easier handling. Take these chips back to where you picked them up and exchange them. <back to top>

Blackjack
All cards are counted at face value, except all face cards count as 10. And when you draw an ace, you can decide whether it counts as 1 or 11. The object of the game is to get as close to 21 without going over. Or to have a higher number than the dealer. Each player gets two cards face up. The dealer gets two cards, one face up and one face down.
You receive the amount of your bet for a winning hand. But if you have a blackjack hand - two cards equaling 21 - you win one-and-a-half times your wager. The only way you can lose with a blackjack hand is if the dealer has one, too.
When dealt a hand that is less than 21, you can either "hit," get another card, or "stand," stay with what you have. For a hit, tap the table behind your cards. To stay, give a short wave above your cards.
When all the players stand, the dealer plays his own hand. The face-down card is flipped over, and the dealer hits or stands. As a rule, the dealer must hit until the total is 17 or above. Then the dealer has to stand. If the dealer busts, all players that are still in the game win. Between the players and the dealer, whoever is closer to 21 without going over wins. The same chips are used for your next turn.

Splitting Pairs
If your two cards are the same, you can split them into two separate hands. But you have to make two bets. Each split pair can be split again, for a total of four hands. You can take as many hits as you want, but if you split on an ace, you can only hit once.

Doubling Down
If your two-card total is 10 or 11, you can double down. This is starting a second bet that's up to the same amount as your original wager. When doubling, you can only take one hit.

Insurance
If the dealer's face-up card is an ace, you can make a side bet. You can wager up to half of your bet that the face-down card is a face card or a 10. If it is, you are paid 2 to 1. If it's not a face card or a 10, your side bet is collected.

Surrender
If you don't think your first two cards can beat the dealer, you can give up half your bet to get out of the hand. <back to top>

Craps
Before you start playing Craps, it's important to understand who the different dealers are. The "stickman" deals with the dice. Two other dealers are used for payouts. And the "boxman" stands in the middle, watching the game and
the payouts.
Each player is known as the "shooter." All of the many types of bets must be placed before the shooter rolls the dice.

Bets
1.) Pass Line
This bet earns the amount that you put down. The player rolls the dice. A 7 or 11 wins. A 2, 3 or 12 loses. All other numbers rolled are called the "point." In this case, you continue to roll. If you re-roll the point number before you roll a 7, you win the Pass Line Bet. If you roll a 7, the dice are passed to the next player.

2.) Don't Pass Line
This is the opposite of a Pass Line. First rolls of
a 2 or 3 win. A 7 or an 11 loses, and a 12 ties. In addition, a 7 rolled before the point is a winner.

3.) Taking Odds
After a point is determined, you can bet on whether the point will be rolled before a 7.

4.) Laying Odds
This bet is made if you think 7 will be rolled before the point.

5.) Come Bets
This is just a Pass Line, but it is placed after a point has already been determined. A 7 or 11 wins on the first roll, and 2, 3 or 12 loses.

6.) Don't Come Bets
This is the reverse of a Come Bet, but 2 and 3 win, 7 and 11 lose and a 12 ties.

7.) Place Bets
After a point is set, you can wager the player will hit 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 before a 7. The dealer leaves your original bet on the table and pays you as your winnings occur.

8.) Field Bets
If the shooter rolls anything but a 5 through 8, you win. Payouts are even, except 2 and 12 pay 2 to 1. These bets only last for one roll.

9.) Proposition Bets
These are one-roll bets also, but with much
higher pay-offs. You can pick 2 or 12 to pay 30 to 1. And 3 and 11 to pay 15 to 1. Or choose any craps (2, 3 or 12) to pay 8 to 1.

10.) Hardways Bets
These are made on double combinations that equal 4 (double 2), 6 (double 3), 8 (double 4) or 10 (double 5). If one of these four numbers are rolled, but not as doubles, you lose. You also do not win if a 7 is rolled before your hardway. <back to top>

Roulette
The Roulette wheel is numbered 1 through 36 along with 0 and 00. Some numbers are red and some are black. The 0 and 00 are green. Wagers can be placed on many number and color combinations.
Bets can be made even after the wheel has been spun until the dealers says, "no more bets." After the ball falls into a number slot, the dealer puts a marker on the winning number. <back to top>

Baccarat
There are two hands in Baccarat, the dealer hand and the player hand. The object is to guess whose hand will be closer to 9, or you can bet on a tie. Dealer and player bets are 1 to 1, but a bet for a tie earns 9 to 1; the player and bank wagers are pushed.
The player and dealer are each dealt three cards. The scores are the last numbers of each sum of the three cards. This is the number that tries to be as close to 9 as possible. For example, a face card, a 7 and a 4 would total 1 (10+7+4=21 Score: 1). Or a face card, a 6 and a 2 would total 8 (10+6+2=18 Score: 8).
The three cards are dealt alternately starting with the player, but the player can stick with two cards if he wants. <back to top>

Poker
Each Mississippi casino offers many different versions of poker in designated poker rooms. But here are the rules to some common forms that you'll find on the floors. <back to top>

Pai Gow Poker
The dealer begins by figuring who is dealt first by rolling the dice. You're given seven cards to form a hand of 5 and a hand of 2. To win, both hands must be higher than the dealer's hand. If one hand is higher, it's a tie. And both hands being lower are a loss.

Caribbean Stud Poker
The player places an initial bet. Everyone is then dealt five cards. The dealer now gets five cards, too, but only one is face up. Once everyone sees the dealer's one card, you can either fold or add twice your ante. A better hand than the dealer pays even, and payouts increase, depending on your combination.
Let-It-Ride
Let-it-ride is not a competition; you're just trying to get the best hand you can. You start the game by placing three equal bets. Each player receives three cards in addition to two face-down cards, that the dealer handles - these five cards comprise your hand. After seeing your first three cards, you can take away one of your three bets or "let it ride." The dealer then flips one of the face-down cards. You can now take away a
second bet if you want. The final face-down card is flipped, and payouts are based on your hand. <back to top>

Slots
Mississippi slots are progressive slots, meaning that jackpots increase with every turn. There are two kinds of progressive slots. If slots are "linked," that means more than one machine is connected to each other - resulting in a combined progressive jackpot. Otherwise, the jackpot is only progressive with its own machine.
Multipliers are machines that take more than one coin at a time. The more coins you put in, the higher the jackpot.
Multiline machines offer a few ways to receive payouts. As opposed to just lining up the three spaces across the middle, multilines can line up matches diagonally or across the top and bottom of nine possible spaces.<back to top>

Keno
Keno is a simple guessing game. You'll receive a playing card, or "ticket," that has the numbers 1-80. You then mark on your ticket which numbers you think will be picked. This ticket is turned in with a bet. A dealer then draws 20 out of the 80 possible numbers. Payouts are based on how many of your numbers were picked. Bets can also be made for higher payouts with combinations of numbers. <back to top>
