The news I've been getting is Tunica casinos may be closing starting May 1st due to flooding. That could be a FIRST.

Belterra & the Grand Vic are in similar situations, but no plansto close at
this time (4/27).

I suppose that next the Tunica Casinos will be asking for permission to move off the river as they are able to in Biloxi. This makes a lot of sense (legal gambling is legal gambling) and in retrospect should have been allowed from day #1.
