The sports betting area will be moved to the new addition, giving the casino room to add more slot machines and expand administrative offices.

York explained the expansion is expected to enhance casino guests’ experiences and provide better facilities for employees and guests alike, while it will also benefit the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, the tribe behind it.Īmong the Choctaw dignitaries attending the announcement was Tribal Chief Cyrus Ben, who said this new project comes “with a lot of excitement,” and explained that their goal is “to always make forward progress,” as reported by Hattiesburg American. The property will feature a dine-in restaurant for up to 60 people and see the addition of new space for its sports betting area, which is currently on the casino floor, explained Michelle York, director of resort operations for Bok Homa.
