Circuit Judge Randi Mueller has affirmed the Mississippi Gaming Commission’s decision to allow a casino resort on city of Biloxi property in East Biloxi where historic Tullis-Toledano Manor was located.
The Gaming Commission granted site approval in December 2024 to Tullis Gardens Hotel and Casino. The next month, Treasure Bay LLC and the Mississippi Gaming & Hospitality Association, whose members include casinos, filed the lawsuit in an effort to block development.
Mueller concluded the site is legal under laws the Mississippi Legislature passed after Hurricane Katrina that allow casinos on land rather than water if control of the property extends to the water.
