Isle of Capri Casinos Inc. said last week it reopened its land-based casino at the Isle of Capri Casino Resort in Biloxi, Mississippi, following Hurricane Katrina in August.
The company said that the casino includes 950 slot machines, a poker room with nine poker tables, 27 table games, two restaurants and 550 hotel rooms. Plans call for a new European spa and additional hotel rooms to open after the new year.
"This casino was originally the first casino to open in the market back in 1992, and we are the first land-based Gulf Coast casino to open today following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina," president and chief operating officer Tim Hinkley said in a statement.
