The regulated commercial casino sector in Mississippi reported revenue of $198.7 million in October, representing a 2.1% year-over-year increase from the $193.4 million generated in October 2024.  

Slots generated $166.7 million in October, a 2.4% year-on-year increase from the $162.8 million generated in 2024, and table games revenue also increased 2.2% from 

The solid performance by the regulated casino sector comes as the Mississippi Lottery has announced the launch of its first-ever mobile app for lottery players. 

Coastal Region Dominates Revenue Table

The Mississippi Gaming Commission, the state regulator, has published its monthly report, which shows all three regions reported year-on-year increases in October. 

Once again, casinos in the Coastal reporting region dominated the revenue standings last month. The Coastal region generated $132.1 million in revenue, which is up 2.7% on last year’s $128.7 million.

Coastal casinos were responsible for a little over 66% of the combined state revenue, but the biggest year-on-year percentage increase came in the Central region. It recorded a 4.5% increase to $25.8 million in October. The Northern region also returned an increase, by 1.8% from $40.0 million last year to $40.8 million in 2025. 

Mississippi Lottery Corporation Launches Mobile App

Meanwhile, the gambling sector is continuing to expand with the news that the Mississippi Lottery Corporation (MLC) has entered the mobile age by launching its first app. 

The app does not allow players to buy tickets, but it provides tools to scan tickets to check if they are winners and to take part in second-chance promotions, where non-winning tickets can still be entered for additional prizes.

The app also provides users with real-time access to current jackpots and winning numbers, helps locate nearby lottery retailers, and offers detailed information on scratch-off and draw games, including odds. Speaking about the launch, the President of the MLC, Jeff Hewitt, said that it was a big step, 

“Our players have asked for a simple, secure way to check tickets, view jackpots, and find information on the go, and this app delivers exactly that.”

Biloxi Casino Developer Gets Another Year to Secure Site

The Mississippi casino sector could yet become even more competitive, after the developer behind the proposed Tullis Gardens Casino in Biloxi was given another year to purchase an eight-acre city-owned site. The agreement allows for up to three additional one-year extensions.

The Chief Executive Officer of Tullis Gardens, Luke Lenzi, reaffirmed his company’s commitment to the project, which will feature a 200-room hotel, a casino, a conference center, restaurants, and a replica of the historic Tullis Manor, designed to attract visitors. 

“Tullis is here to stay, we are not going anywhere, and we’re going to build our hotel and casino.”

Despite its prime location, directly across from the beach and near Harrah’s and Golden Nugget casinos, the site presents challenges related to site approval and property title that must be addressed before purchasing the land. 

Construction cannot begin until historical restrictions from the Mississippi Department of Archives and History are cleared, as the property was once home to the Tullis-Toledano Manor, destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
