Granted, I know the experience won't rival a Vegas sportsbook, but based upon the recent legislation change in law in Mississippi, what are some of the "best" sportsbook in Biloxi / Gulfport to watch a game?

Ideally, I'd like to also stay in a hotel that has the best sportsbook and/or is very close to the best sportsbook.

Take the image of Vegas sportsbook out of your head cause you will be disappointed. Most are just windows you walk up and bet at. Beau Rivage was the best with a restaurant right beside. Watched LSU Miami there.

Also, these are mostly temporary set ups as the boats plan to built actual sports books.

Yes the Silver Slipper in Waveland and Hollywood in Bay St. Louis sports books are open. None of the casinos on the coast are boats after Katrina, all land based now.

The Hollywood in BSL just has the betting counter, no elaborate TV setup with recliners.

Only one I've been to.

Cruising the coast starts this weekend, so take the interstate in.

Who would downvote this? With the new renovations,this is by far the nicest sportsbook on the coast.

Beau just spent 9 million to renovate that restaurant. It’s really nice in there now. Opened July 4th. Amazing how many people from Texas you meet in there. Good fricking job Louisiana you stupid motherfrickers

Last time I went to the slipper to place a bet they had one lady working the counter for a thursday night football game. The line was a mile long long so there was a ton of people that weren’t able to place their bets. It was a shite show to put it nicely.

You won’t find anything nice in Biloxi. The sharps are all already in Vegas. They pour in massive wagers making sports books profitable between those wagers and their wives playing slots the entire day while they watch games.

Some of the groups of sharps (like Billy Walters style gamblers) are starting to create teams of players in smaller areas, such as Biloxi, but those teams are having to spread bets around to each casino to keep from getting blacklisted from investigators like Griffin, so it’s just small stuff spread out over lots of casinos right now. The teams are also having to develop trust levels with these players to ensure they don’t just take the white meat after major wins (not an easy thing).

If Biloxi casinos give better odds then you could see an influx and a great investment in sports books, but it will never be like Vegas in our lifetime.

The Beaux is horrible.

Went to Hollywood a few months ago for a convention and passed by the sports bar. Pretty legit setup.

The beau rivage uses the same odds as the MGM properties in Vegas

And go to the beau before you say you won’t find anything nice in Biloxi

The windows that were in the middle of the casino is completely torn down now

I have been.]It’s nothing but a gloried cage right in front of their actual cage. The best thing to do is to make wagers at the Beau and then go watch the games at a sports bar or the Hard Rock.

ETA:

Didn’t realize they had opened up an entire section for sports betting. I have not been since July 4th. I will have to check it out, so disregard my statements.
