Mississippi travel plaza with slots and sports betting set to open next month

In addition to gas and convenience goods, a Mississippi travel plaza that opens next month will have slot machines and sports betting.





The $25 million, 18,000-square-foot complex will have 150 slot machines and a sportsbook lounge, and it will be open around-the-clock. The gaming area is complemented by 3,000 square feet of retail space, a restaurant, and commercial and passenger vehicle fueling stations.

It’s interesting to see travel plazas evolving into full-scale entertainment and gaming destinations. This Mississippi project is a smart move, combining traditional amenities like gas and retail with slot machines and sports betting to attract a broader audience. The 24/7 schedule and added features like a restaurant and lounge create a one-stop destination for travelers and locals alike. It’s a significant investment at $25 million, but it could pay off by drawing in both gaming enthusiasts and people looking for convenience while on the road.
