Boomtown Casino Biloxi

What Boomtown Casino Biloxi does

Boomtown Casino Biloxi is a dockside casino resort located at 676 Bayview Avenue on Back Bay Biloxi, Mississippi, operated as an unincorporated property of PENN Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: PENN). The casino opened in 1994 and markets itself as "The Original Locals Casino," targeting Gulf Coast residents and regional visitors with a 24/7 gaming floor of 600-plus slot machines and video poker games, more than 20 table games (blackjack, craps, roulette, baccarat, and proprietary poker variants), a four-table smoke-free poker room, and a 24/7 sportsbook covering major professional and collegiate sports.

The property's broader offering spans five on-site dining venues — Biloxi Bay Buffet, BT Grill, Pho Boy Asian Fusion, BAYkery, and a separately located Fat Tuesday daiquiri bar in the Biloxi Entertainment District — together with a 50-site RV park on an adjacent four-acre parcel, marketed as the only casino-attached RV park in Biloxi. Customer engagement is driven by the PENN Play loyalty program and mobile app, which deliver tier-based rewards, PENN Cash earning, and redemption across PENN Entertainment's broader 16-property network, Ticketmaster, and the PENN Marketplace e-commerce portal. Specialized gaming zones include the EZ Play Zone (hybrid electronic craps and blackjack, $3 minimum), Video Poker Paradise (Ultimate X Poker and progressive jackpots), and a second-floor smoke-free slot area.

Boomtown generates revenue through gaming operations (house edge on slot and table wagers, sports betting), food and beverage transactions across its restaurants, recurring RV park rentals (daily, weekly, and monthly), and loyalty monetization via the PENN Play ecosystem. Underlying technology is largely licensed rather than proprietary: table games are sourced from SHFL Entertainment/Scientific Games/IGT under license, the sportsbook is powered by Kambi, and dealerless EZ Play Poker runs on Jackpot Digital terminals. Pricing is unit-based across gaming and dining (lowest published Gulf Coast blackjack minimum at $1, buffet entrees $15.99-$49.99) and subscription-based at the RV park, with casino credit offered interest- and fee-free to qualified players.
