Mardi Gras Casino

What Mardi Gras Casino does

Mardi Gras Casino operates as The Big Easy Casino, a single-property gaming and hospitality venue located at 831 N Federal Hwy in Hallandale Beach, Florida. The company runs an integrated cardroom offering slot machines and electronic table games, live poker tables, and simulcast horse racing with pari-mutuel wagering, complemented by on-site dining, a dedicated upscale tapas and cocktail venue called The Velvet Spell, and a private-event space called The Magnolia Room. Hours are extended, including 24-hour operations Friday through Monday, and the property is supported by a Players' Club loyalty program and a win/loss statement service for tax purposes.

The business serves local South Florida residents and visiting adults seeking entertainment gaming, poker, simulcast racing, dining, and nightlife in a single venue. Revenue is generated through transaction-based streams: gaming win on slots, poker, and simulcast wagers; food and beverage spend at the casino's dining outlets and Velvet Spell; and event-venue rental fees through the Magnolia Room and Groups booking service. Marketing is conducted primarily through the company website, a weekly promotions calendar, local Chamber of Commerce memberships, and on-site events programming.

Mardi Gras Casino is privately held, with no disclosed parent company, investors, funding rounds, or public listing. The company employs approximately 112 people, has no mobile application or digital distribution channel, and operates exclusively as a walk-in physical destination. Its core differentiators relative to nearby competitors are its New Orleans-themed branding, the recent launch of the Velvet Spell F&B concept, and its simulcast racing offering combined with poker and slots under one roof.

Regional players

• Derby Lane: St. Petersburg greyhound and poker venue with simulcast. Similar pari-mutuel/simulcast + poker mix but located in the Tampa Bay region rather than South Florida.
• bestbet Jacksonville: Jacksonville-area poker and simulcast operator. Comparable poker/simulcast model but serving northeast Florida rather than the South Florida market directly.

• Casino Miami: Miami-area slots and simulcast wagering venue. Directly comparable as a non-hotel regional casino competing for South Florida gaming customers.
• Calder Casino: Miami Gardens racino with slots and electronic table games. Comparable product mix (no lodging, simulcast/electronic gaming) in the same South Florida competitive set.
• Hialeah Park Racing & Casino: Hialeah-based pari-mutuel racino offering slots, electronic table games, and live racing. Comparable single-property racino model without on-site lodging, serving the same South Florida market.
• Pompano Park (Isle Casino Racing): Broward County racino offering slots, electronic table games, and simulcast racing. Very similar product mix to The Big Easy in a nearby South Florida submarket.
