The number you are looking for is not in the documented record this article can use
Beau Rivage sits at 30.392413 latitude and -88.891915 longitude in Biloxi, Mississippi. Publicly published reference sources document the resort at 1,740 hotel rooms and record that it opened in March 1999. Those same sources do not give this article a slot machine count for the property, and no figure should be treated as current just because it appears on a third-party page.
That is the honest shape of the answer: the hotel room count is documented, the slot count is not. A reader planning a trip around machine variety needs to know what drives the number, why it moves, and exactly which channel publishes the authoritative current figure.
What the documented record does contain
The facts this article can state about Beau Rivage come from publicly published reference sources and describe a point in time, not today. Ownership and branding of casino properties change through sales and rebrands, and facility figures are revised as properties are rebuilt and expanded.
| Field | Documented value | Measurement type |
|---|---|---|
| Hotel rooms | 1,740 | Count, as published in reference sources; subject to revision |
| Opening | March 1999 | Date, as published in reference sources |
| Owner | Vici Properties | Entity name, as published in reference sources |
| City | Biloxi | Fixed geographic value |
| State | Mississippi | Fixed geographic value |
| Coordinates | 30.392413, -88.891915 | Latitude and longitude |
The reference sources also record a structural detail that matters for how the property is understood: at the time of the resort's construction, local law confined casinos to mobile marine vessels, and the casino was located on a series of floating barges. That is a historical note about the building's physical form, not a statement about current regulation or status.
Why a slot count is not a fixed fact
A slot machine count is not like a street address. It changes when a property reconfigures floor space, swaps older cabinets for newer ones, adds electronic table games, or shifts machines between the main floor and a high-limit room. Two sources can report different numbers for the same property on the same day because they count different things.
The main definitional splits are:
- Classic reel and video slots versus electronic table games such as video roulette or electronic craps, which some counts include and others exclude.
- Machines on the main gaming floor versus machines in a separate high-limit or nonsmoking area.
- Machines owned and operated by the venue versus machines placed by a route operator or a third-party supplier.
- A count taken before a renovation versus after a section of the floor is walled off and rebuilt.
None of these distinctions is visible in a bare number, which is why a bare number without a date and a counting rule is close to useless for planning.
Where the current figure is published
The authoritative current slot count for Beau Rivage lives in the property's own published materials and in the periodic reports of the state gaming authority that oversees Mississippi venues. This article does not name that authority or assert anything about its licensing or approval powers; it simply points out that the channel exists and is the one that carries the current count.
When you need the number, go to the property's own website or contact its guest services line and ask for the current gaming floor count. Ask the question in a way that forces a definition: "How many slot machines are currently on the gaming floor, and does that number include electronic table games?" That second half of the question is what separates a useful answer from a marketing figure.
What to confirm before you go
If the slot count is part of your decision to visit, confirm the items below through the property's own channels, because every one of them can change between now and when you arrive.
| Item | Why it changes | Where the current answer lives |
|---|---|---|
| Current machine count | Floor reconfigurations, cabinet swaps, electronic table game additions | Property website or guest services line |
| Whether the count includes electronic table games | No uniform counting rule across venues | Ask the property directly, with that specific wording |
| High-limit room machine count | Separate area, sometimes counted separately | Property floor map or guest services |
| Operating hours of the gaming floor | Subject to change; not documented in this article | Property's published hours page |
| Any access or entry requirements | Policy changes; not documented in this article | Property's guest services |
The single most useful habit for a reader is to treat any slot count as a dated, defined figure. A number with no date and no counting rule tells you nothing about what the floor looks like when you stand on it.
How Beau Rivage's documented position compares to nearby reference points
Straight-line distances below are great-circle measurements between documented coordinates, not road miles. Road distance is always longer, and this article does not publish road mileage or driving time.
| Reference point | Straight-line distance from Beau Rivage | Measurement type |
|---|---|---|
| Biloxi | 2.5 miles | Great-circle, as the crow flies |
| Gulfport | 11.0 miles | Great-circle, as the crow flies |
| New Orleans | 76.5 miles | Great-circle, as the crow flies |
| Houston | 389.5 miles | Great-circle, as the crow flies |
| Atlanta | 351.0 miles | Great-circle, as the crow flies |
These figures anchor the property's position for a reader deciding whether the trip makes sense from a given region. They are not travel instructions and they are not driving distances.
FAQ
Does Beau Rivage publish its slot machine count?
This article cannot verify a current slot count for Beau Rivage because the documented reference record it uses does not contain one. The property's own website and guest services line are the channels that carry the current figure. Ask specifically whether the number includes electronic table games, because venues count those inconsistently.
Why do different websites show different slot counts for the same casino?
Different sources count different things. One may include electronic table games, another may not. One may count only the main floor, another may include a high-limit room. Counts also go stale when a property reconfigures its floor. A number without a date and a counting rule cannot be compared to another number.
Is the 1,740 hotel room figure for Beau Rivage current?
The 1,740 room figure is what publicly published reference sources document, and it describes a point in time. Hotel room counts are revised as properties are rebuilt and expanded, so treat it as a documented figure rather than a live count. The property's own booking page carries the current room inventory.
