What are the Best Casinos in Tunica, MS?

Tunica, Mississippi is located in Tunica County, right by the Mississippi River. This town was one of the poorest in the nation until the early 1990s, when gambling was brought in as a way to revitalize the economy. While technically located just north of Tunica town proper in an unincorporated village of "Tunica Resorts," there are several casinos and resorts that have revitalized the entire Tunica area by attracting visitors from hundreds of miles around.

Hollywood Casino Tunica
- Strictly Slots magazine named Hollywood Casino Tunica the "luckiest casino" for six straight years. The casino---which employs more than 1,000 Tunica residents---features the full range of games, from slots and video poker to table games like blackjack and roulette. This casino also has a hotel with more than 67 luxury suites. With three restaurants and two bars, there's plenty of food and drink options. Gamblers looking to take a longer break from the tables can hit The River Bend Golf Course right next to the Hollywood Casino Tunica.
