If you are trying to get a firm answer for how many casinos are in Biloxi, Mississippi today, the key point is that this article cannot give a complete citywide total. What it can give you is the documented set of venues measured from Biloxi, explain why published counts differ, and show which nearby properties are publicly documented in reference sources.
For Biloxi itself, publicly published reference sources in this file document 318 venues measured to this city across the wider reference set, but that is explicitly not a census and not a complete list of casinos in Biloxi, Mississippi. For a current total, the authoritative place to check is the relevant state or tribal gaming regulator's published venue list, because openings, closures, rebrands, and category differences change any count over time.
Why a simple casino count is harder than it sounds
The word "casino" does not always mean the same thing across different lists. Some lists include only full commercial casino properties, while others also include tribal venues, racetrack gaming properties, card rooms, riverboat or dockside properties, or other gambling venues that a reader may group together informally.
That is why two honest sources can produce different totals for the same city or state. They may be using different definitions, measuring different boundaries, or updating their lists on different dates.
There is another practical issue: city counts depend on borders. A property may be marketed to Biloxi visitors but physically sit in Gulfport, Hancock County, or another nearby jurisdiction, so whether it belongs in a "Biloxi" total depends on the exact boundary used by the source.
What is documented for Biloxi in this reference set
The fixed point here is the city of Biloxi, Mississippi, documented at latitude 30.41194444 and longitude -88.92777778. Measured from that city point, the nearest documented venues in this reference set begin with Scarlet Pearl and Beau Rivage, followed by Golden Nugget Biloxi, Island View, and Silver Slipper.
Those measurements are straight-line figures only. Road mileage is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish road distance or travel time.

Venue facts that are firmly documented
Where a venue row contains facility figures, those figures can be stated as a documented snapshot from publicly published reference sources. They describe a point in time and may be revised later as properties expand, renovate, reconfigure towers, or alter gaming space.
| Venue | City/state field | Hotel rooms | Gaming area | Table games | Opened | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scarlet Pearl | Not separately stated in the venue row | 300 | 68,000 square feet | Not documented here | December 9, 2015 | Not documented here |
| Beau Rivage | Biloxi, Mississippi | 1,740 | Not documented here | Not documented here | Not documented here in the venue row | Vici Properties |
| Golden Nugget Biloxi | Biloxi, Mississippi | Not documented here | Not documented here | Not documented here | Not documented here | Not documented here |
| Island View | Gulfport, Mississippi | 970 | Not documented here | 15 | September 18, 2006 | Not documented here |
| Silver Slipper | Hancock County, Mississippi | Not documented here | Not documented here | 28 | November 9, 2006 | Full House Resorts. The casino has over |
For Scarlet Pearl, the publicly published reference sources record 300 hotel rooms and 68,000 square feet of gaming space, with an opening date of December 9, 2015. For Beau Rivage, the documented room count is 1,740, and the owner field is Vici Properties.
For Island View, the documented figures are 970 hotel rooms, 15 table games, and an opening date of September 18, 2006. For Silver Slipper, the documented figures are 28 table games and an opening date of November 9, 2006.
Why venue size comparisons can be misleading
Even when two properties both publish numbers, those numbers are not always directly comparable. Gaming area can mean gaming floor only rather than total building area, room counts may or may not include every tower tied to the resort, and machine or table totals may be revised as floors are reconfigured.
That is why a cautious article should present these figures side by side rather than declare one place "larger" or "smaller" unless the same field is documented for both venues. Here, for example, Scarlet Pearl and Beau Rivage can be compared on hotel rooms because both have a documented room figure, but not on gaming area because only Scarlet Pearl has that field documented in this file.
| Venue | Documented hotel rooms | Measurement note |
|---|---|---|
| Scarlet Pearl | 300 | Published snapshot; subject to later revision |
| Beau Rivage | 1,740 | Published snapshot; subject to later revision |
| Island View | 970 | Published snapshot; subject to later revision |
How to get a true current count for Biloxi
If your real question is not geography but a current total, the right method is to check the venue list published by the relevant gaming authority for the jurisdiction you mean. That matters because a state list, a city tourism list, and a private directory can all be counting different categories of property.
Before relying on a number, confirm three things: the boundary being used for Biloxi, the date the list was updated, and the kinds of venues included. That is the only reliable way to answer "how many are in Biloxi today" without mixing city venues with nearby coastal properties or older listings.
What to confirm before you go
Several details that matter to travellers are changeable and are not fixed by the documented venue rows here. Confirm the property's current hours, hotel availability, parking arrangements, dining availability, and any entertainment or event schedules on the venue's own official pages or through its guest services contact channel.
If you are comparing properties, also confirm whether a room count refers to the whole resort complex, whether a gaming-space figure refers only to the casino floor, and whether ownership or branding has changed since the published reference snapshot. Ownership and branding of casino properties can change through sales and rebrands.
For distance planning, use your own map tool from your starting point. The figures in this article are straight-line measurements from Biloxi and are useful for orientation, but road distance is longer and can vary significantly depending on the route available to you.
FAQ
Can you tell me the exact number of casinos in Biloxi today?
Not from this reference set alone. It documents venues measured from Biloxi and explicitly says the set is not a complete list for any city, county, state, or country. For an exact current count, check the published list maintained by the relevant gaming authority and verify which venue categories and city boundaries that list uses.
Which documented casinos are closest to Biloxi?
The nearest documented venues to the Biloxi city point in this file are Scarlet Pearl at 2.4 miles straight-line, Beau Rivage at 2.5 miles straight-line, and Golden Nugget Biloxi at 4.2 miles straight-line. Those are as-the-crow-flies measurements only; they are not road miles, and this article does not estimate driving distance.
Are all the venues in the distance table inside Biloxi city limits?
No. The table is a proximity list measured from Biloxi, not a city-limits list. Some venue rows are documented as Biloxi, Mississippi, while others are documented as Gulfport, Mississippi or Hancock County, Mississippi, and several entries in the wider list do not have a location field shown here at all. That is one reason citywide counts can differ.
