Biloxi

I usually drive up from FLA 2-3 times a year to play in biloxi for 1-2 weeks a pop.

I know all the major casinoes right on the beach down to Gulfport where either completely destroyed or severley damaged.

Is there any poker in Biloxi at all right now?
How did the Imperial Palace do?
I would think if there was any casino open they may open up a makeshift pokerroom. Is there anywhere to play poker on the Mississippi Gulf Coast-if not how about New Orleans area?

I dont want to go as far out as Coushatta,Lake Charles or Baton Rouge. I'll drive the extra 5 hours and hit up Tunica before that.

I'm not sure, but I think that the closest one is the 8 table room at Boomtown on the west bank from NOLA.

I played Friday night with a guy from Biloxi, and he indicated that nothing is up and running in Biloxi.

If you change your mind and consider Baton Rouge, they consistenly offer $2/5 NLHE 50/300 buyin, 3/6 LHE, and 4/8 LHE. They are trying to get a Wednesday 15/30 LHE going starting at 5 pm. They offer 4/8/12/12 Half Holdem/Half Omaha High on Thursdays starting at 10 am. Several regulars try to get the 1/2 & 1/2 started other days with some success. Rake is $5 max + $1 jackpot drop.

Given the limited game selection, high rake, mediocre room quality, and nonexistent comps for poker players I wouldn't make a special trip to visit this room.

thnx for the info..I've played in Bossier City, at the Grande Coushatta and in Lake Charles never in Baton Rouge. Do you know whats going on in the Lake Charles area-how are those rooms doing and what games are they spreading?

Silver Star Casino in Philadelphia, MS may be an option for you.

I played last week in Philadelphis, MS with a few folks from the coast. They named a poker room that was opening back up Dec. 21, I believe. It seems like the one they said was Palace
