Mississippi's gambling laws are a little behind the times due to pressure from religious groups. Still, it is slowly catching up with the relatively recent launch of its lottery and the legalization of sports betting in the state. Read more about gambling laws in Mississippi in our article below.

Mississippi Code 75-76 and the Mississippi Gaming Control Act 87-1: Gambling & Futures Contracts and 97-33: Gambling & Lotteries all detail Mississippi's general legal stance on gambling. These determine that gambling is illegal in the state unless specifically stated otherwise. In reality, Mississippi offers a variety of legal gambling activities, although most forms of online gambling are illegal. The Mississippi Gaming Commission oversees and licenses all gambling operations in the state.

Here's how Mississippi's gambling laws affect each type of gambling activity.

Casino Games

Casino gambling is legal in Mississippi, with the state home to 29 casinos, both tribal and commercial. Most commercial casinos boast a coastal location and are big-name brands such as Hard Rock and Golden Nugget. Games offered at these casinos include Blackjack, Baccarat, Roulette, Poker and slots.

Online casino gambling is illegal in Mississippi due to the state's definition of gambling, which could easily be interpreted to cover online gambling activities, and gambling is illegal unless otherwise specified. Some of the land-based casinos in the state offer social gambling apps that allow members to play games for free. Those wishing to play online casino slots and other games via foreign sites can do so with no record of prosecution in the state to date.

Poker

Poker gambling is legal in Mississippi, with many existing land-based casino venues offering poker rooms. Biloxi is a hotspot for poker gambling, but the WSOP tends to stop at the Horseshoe Casino in Tunica. Home-based poker games are not permitted due to the state's laws, which operate on an 'illegal unless otherwise specified' basis, with no exception for such private games.

Online poker gambling is illegal in Mississippi, but players in the state can still get some action via social sites, if only on a play-chips basis.

Bingo

Bingo gambling is legal in Mississippi, with games permitted by charitable organizations and commercial casinos. Only a few casinos offer bingo games; however, most notably Silver Star Hotel and Casino and Golden Moon Hotel and Casino.

Online bingo gambling is illegal in Mississippi, as the law does not specifically provide an exemption for such games. Some online bingo casinos accept players from Mississippi, and although it's technically illegal, there is no record of prosecution.

Lotteries

Lottery gambling is legal in Mississippi, with the bill to launch a state lottery passed in mid-2018. However, due to complications, the first lottery draw tickets will only be sold in September 2023. The Mississippi Lottery is set to offer tickets for the popular national draw-based games of Powerball and Mega Millions and its own 3x weekly and 2x daily draws. The operator already sells scratch cards at its numerous retail outlets across the state.

Online lottery gambling is illegal in Mississippi, with the Mississippi Lottery not permitted to offer games or sell draw tickets online. Those searching online lottery games for real money can find them via the many lottery sites that accept players from the state. This would be deemed illegal, but no record of state residents being prosecuted for gambling online.

Due to the nature of Mississippi's gambling laws, poker games played within private residences are not permitted. The only form of social gambling legal in the state is that offered by social casino apps, which operate with play chips. Modern forms of gambling, such as lootboxes and skins gambling, have yet to be accurately defined, with much debate on the matter ongoing.

Mississippi recently passed a bill permitting crypto mining operations in the state, but none of the existing gambling venues currently accept Bitcoin or altcoins as a form of payment. Those looking for Bitcoin games to play can find them at crypto gambling sites, although state laws would technically classify this type of activity as illegal.

The Mississippi gambling age is 21 years old for almost all forms of gambling, including casino games and the upcoming state lottery. However, those aged 18 or over can legally play charitable bingo games.

Tax Regulation

Mississippi gambling tax regulation requires gambling winnings to be taxed alongside income at 3%, which is withheld at source. This is in addition to the 24% tax on gambling winnings that is withheld at the federal level.

Gambling in Mississippi dates back to before the inclusion of the state in the United States, with horse racing betting common amongst early settlers in the 1800s. After pressure from religious groups, gambling was forced underground in a statewide ban from the 1950s.

The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 allowed tribes to operate casinos on their reservations. The Mississippi Gaming Control Act of 1990 permitted the operation of dockside casinos.

Between 2012 and 2015, online poker bills were presented four times, but none were passed. Daily fantasy sports contests were legalized in Mississippi in 2016. Sports betting was legalized in the state in 2017. Lottery gambling was legalized in 2018, with the Mississippi Lottery expected to start selling draw tickets in late 2023.
