Magnolia Bluffs Casino is a casino in Natchez, Mississippi. It has 45,000 square feet (4,200 m2) of gaming space, with 580 slot machines and 10 table games. [1]
The casino site was the location of a sawmill, Learned's Mill, which opened in 1828 and operated until 1962. [2]
The project's original developer, the Lane Company, received preliminary approval from the Mississippi Gaming Commission in early 2008. The project was designed by architect, Edward Vance of EV&A Architects. [3] Plans stalled due to a failure to find financing during the financial crisis of 2007–2008. [3] The building plan was scaled back from two floors to one in 2009. [4] Kentucky-based Premier Gaming stepped in to lead the project, and began construction in late 2011. [3] The casino opened on December 18, 2012. [1]
Architect Edward Vance said the casino's weathered wood exterior was originally inspired by historic lumber mills, [5] and later modifications were modeled on photographs of carriage houses. [6]
In October 2015, Isle of Capri Casinos closed its Natchez casino, and sold its hotel and other non-gaming assets to Magnolia Bluffs for $11.5 million. [7] [8] The hotel became the Magnolia Bluffs Hotel. [8]
The casino added a sportsbook in October 2018, shortly after sports betting became legal as a result of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling. [9]
