Mississippi Online Gambling 2020

Mississippi legalized casinos in the early 1990s. It’s possible to play slots and table games for a range of stakes. Bingo can also be played for real money throughout the state, and there are various cardrooms offering poker. However, Mississippi currently doesn’t offer lotteries to residents.

There is a mix of big branded casinos in Mississippi from chains like Hard Rock, as well as a handful of Native American casinos. Most large casinos in Biloxi and Robinsonville have poker rooms, and some run big tournaments like the WSOP Circuit. We will update you on online gambling laws and development in Mississippi in 2020.

Sportsbooks

Mississippi is one of a handful of states which were completely prepared when the Supreme Court struck down the PASPA. The state now has five brick and mortar sportsbooks operating and taking wagers on every sport from around the world. Online wagering is also available. However, it is limited to on-site only so you must be on the sportsbook/casino property to access their online options.

Casinos

The casino industry has been a major source of revenue to the state for over 20 years now and continues to be so to this day. There are over 30 casinos located throughout the state with ten of those in the city of Biloxi alone. All the table games are available as Mississippi, especially Biloxi, sells itself as the “Vegas of the South.”

Online Poker

While Mississippi is very aggressive in legalizing all forms of gambling, poker, online and in poker rooms seems to be forgotten. It is legal to play online poker in the state via any of the off-shore sites but it is not sanctioned. However, there are many online gambling bills floating around the Mississippi statehouse and, considering the state’s recent activity, online poker may be regulated sometime soon.

Lotteries

Mississippi has had many forms of legal gambling options for years so it is somewhat odd that a lottery is one of the last dominos to fall. Most states, no matter how conservative, have had lotteries for decades now. Mississippi will join this list soon enough as lotteries in the state are now legal and looking at a launch day in late 2019 or in 2020.

Fantasy Sports

Although it required separate legislation to pass, wagering on fantasy sports is completely legal in Mississippi. All of the major DFS sites are up and running in the state and you can wager fantasy sports every day of the week at sites such as DraftKings, FanDuel, or FantasyDraft.

Horse Racing

While there are no horse racing betting tracks in the state of Mississippi, there are several racebooks, or OTBs, operating throughout the state. Mostly located in their sportsbooks, this racebooks simulcast races and tracks from around the globe allowing players plenty of action as well as options.
