Caesars launches mobile sports betting at Harrah’s casino in Mississippi
Caesars Entertainment has announced the launch of its mobile sports betting product at Harrah’s Gulf Coast Hotel & Casino in Mississippi.
Players aged 21 or over can download the Caesars Sportsbook Mississippi app and place bets across a range of sports. Wagering via the app is only permitted while users are physically present at Harrah’s Gulf Coast.
The mobile launch will complement the on-site Caesars Sportsbook facility at the casino. The retail sports betting location has been taking bets at Harrah’s Gulf Coast since 2018.
Users betting via mobile will also have access to the Caesars Rewards loyalty program, which is integrated into the app. Players earn points for each bet placed, with these redeemable for Caesars experiences and bonus cash in the app.
“The launch of our Caesars Sportsbook mobile app at Harrah’s Gulf Coast is a game-changer for sports fans who visit the world-class destination,” Caesars Digital president Eric Hession said.
“Enhancing the fan experience remains a key focus for us across jurisdictions where we operate. Bringing mobile wagering online in Mississippi builds on that.
“We look forward to providing an elevated and responsible sports wagering experience to our Biloxi customers going forward.”
Mississippi mulls expanded mobile betting bill
Players in Mississippi are currently limited to placing mobile wagers inside casinos that have a partnership with an online operator. BetMGM is among other online brands that have such a deal in place, working with MGM Resorts International’s Beau Rivage.
A new bill could change this and open up the market. Introduced in January this year, HB 774 would permit mobile wagering anywhere inside the state’s boundaries. It would allow for a total of 26 licences, each tethered to commercial casinos in Mississippi.
Other aspects of the bill include setting tax at a maximum of 12%. There is a sliding scale for tax revenue, with sportsbooks doing less business paying at a lower rate.
However, the bill remains in limbo. HB 774 passed the house on 1 February. It moved to the senate on 5 February and then assigned to the gaming committee on 27 February. Last Tuesday (2 April) was the final day for a committee to pass out a bill that did not originate in its chamber.
To keep the bill alive, the Mississippi senate gaming committee held a two-minute meeting on 2 April. This came about with a month left in the legislative session, which is due to run until 5 May.
There could be more movement today (11 April) – the deadline for the full senate to act on any non-revenue bills that originated in the house.

MDWFP appoints first female wildlife bureau chief, others take new roles
‘My goal was to be a biologist and be the best one I could be. I try to do the best I can do at whatever I’m doing.’

A number of familiar names have shifted into new roles at the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks and among them is Amy Blaylock who is the first woman to lead the wildlife division.
“I feel honored and blessed,” Blaylock said. “I’m excited.
“I wouldn’t say it was necessarily a goal of mine. My goal was to be a biologist and be the best one I could be. I try to do the best I can do at whatever I’m doing.”
Blaylock joined the department in 2007 after receiving her undergraduate degree in forestry and master’s degree in wildlife science at Mississippi State University. It was an education and career path that came naturally for her.
Her father, Larry Castle, had a career with the agency as did an uncle, Bennie Herring.
“Of course, I love the outdoors and hunting,” Blaylock said. “I hunt as much as I can.
“My kids take up a lot of my time now, but deer hunting is what I do most of. I’ve grown up with the agency with my daddy and my uncle. I guess that encouraged my passion for the agency.”
New role as wildlife chief is not Blaylock’s first groundbreaking move
Blaylock began her career with MDWFP as a biologist with the deer program. She then moved into the role of East Central Region wildlife management area biologist where she oversaw management of 11 WMAs. During that time, she also served as wildlife restoration coordinator and was responsible for writing and managing grants that assisted in funding the Wildlife Bureau.
In 2017, Blaylock accepted an offer to become the assistant chief of the wildlife division. With that, she became the first woman to serve in a top role in the agency.
“I enjoyed being in the assistant chief position, and, so far, I love being in this position,” Blaylock said.
More position changes in MDWFP
Blaylock is not the only person to recently take on a new role at MDWFP. Russ Walsh left the position of chief of the wildlife division, which Blaylock assumed and is now the director of public policy.
Adam Butler also moved into a new position. Butler was previously the director of conservation programs and before that, he was the Wild Turkey Program coordinator. Butler was recently named the assistant chief of wildlife.
