RW Development is more than halfway into its 3-year deadline to get a license for a casino at Veterans Avenue in Biloxi and the project just survived another challenge.
Treasure Bay Casino appealed the December 2023 decision by the Mississippi Gaming Commission to approve the property north and south of U.S. 90 as a legal casino site. Treasure Bay is about half a mile from the RW Development casino site.
The hearing in Harrison County Circuit Court was on Oct. 8, 2024. Judge Larry Bourgeois denied the appeal on Aug. 27. He ruled, in part, that the gaming commission followed the regulations and the pier RW Development proposes building as part of the casino meets the requirement as an “essential” part of the entire project.
