The state has over 20 gambling facilities, which actually makes it one of the gaming hotspots in the country. The only form of casino gambling available in MS is by riverboat, each run by Native American Tribes. The Magnolia State seems to be doing a better job of keeping up with the gambling industry as of the past few years, legalizing sports betting, and introducing a bill to allow a state lottery. Up until recently, even the lottery wasn’t available.
Mississippi has always had a reputation as being a state that was strictly against any forms of gambling.
