This casino is closed
Margaritaville Casino and Restaurant was a Biloxi casino operated by MVB Holding, LLC. The Mississippi Gaming Commission’s historical register records its opening on May 22, 2012. That register was published before the casino’s later closure and should not be read as a current license list.
In its July 21, 2014 employee notice, published by the City of Biloxi, MVB announced a planned permanent closure by September 19 after unsuccessful landlord negotiations and hotel-financing efforts. The Biloxi Historical Society’s timeline records the actual closure as September 15, 2014.

Separate from Margaritaville Resort Biloxi
The closed casino on 5th Street is not the later Margaritaville Resort at the former Casino Magic Biloxi site. The city’s July 2021 history feature identifies Casino Magic’s successor as Margaritaville Resort. The current resort website should not be used as evidence that the former Back Bay casino is operating.
Finding a current casino
Start with the City of Biloxi casino directory or our Biloxi listings, then confirm practical details directly with the property. Beau Rivage, IP Casino Resort Spa and Hard Rock Biloxi have separate visitor guides. Older machine and table counts for those properties have been removed from this historical page to avoid repeating stale figures.
Fact-checked October 28, 2026. This update documents the closure and distinguishes the closed casino from the later resort; it does not claim a recent visit or a new guest review.
