Tunica Resort Area
Fact Sheet
Tunica, the “The South’s Casino Capital,” is strategically located 30 minutes south of Memphis, conveniently located at the crossroads of I-40 and I-55. Tunica welcomes more than 10 million visitors annually, easily accessible from all points in the Central United States.
In 1990, the Mississippi Legislature legalized gaming as a job and tax creation strategy. Tunica’s leaders saw the opportunity for a new industry and badly needed job creation. The new law authorized gaming on a local county option basis for counties along the Mississippi River and the Gulf Coast.
