SUMMARY: Mississippi officials are considering building a casino in Jackson to boost economic development and tourism. In March, House Bill 1989 proposed a program to finance a gaming center downtown, but it failed to pass. A coalition of business leaders, including former Gov. Haley Barbour, has since advocated for a casino in Jackson, citing the city’s population decline and the growing suburbs. However, state law restricts casinos to coastal or river areas, so legislative changes would be needed. Some industry leaders oppose the idea, fearing it could lead to more casinos in other cities and hurt existing establishments.
