The
Horseshoe Casino Tunica is a
casino resort located in
Tunica Resorts, Mississippi. It was developed by
Jack Binion, the son of
Las Vegas gaming legend
Benny Binion and named after his father's famous
Binion's Horseshoe downtown gambling hall. Much like its namesake, the Horseshoe Tunica is known for catering to serious gamblers, particularly
table games players, and is known for its liberal, player-favorable rules and its
comp policies.
The Tunica "Shoe" was opened in 1995 as part of "Casino Center," a development by Jack Binion with three casinos side by side <nowiki></nowiki>. The property has undergone several expansions and renovations over the years.
Binion sold
Horseshoe Gaming Holding Corporation, the Tunica property's corporate parent, to
Harrah's Entertainment in 2004. Under Harrah's, the Tunica "Shoe" became home to a
World Series of Poker circuit event; previously, the Horseshoe had partnered with the neighboring Gold Strike to host the Jack Binion World Poker Open, a stop on the
World Poker Tour. Harrah's Entertainment renamed itself to
Caesars Entertainment in 2010.
The casino features more than 70 table games, more than 2,000
slot machines, a large
poker room, three fine-dining restaurants, a large
buffet and a snack bar. The hotel features more than 500 rooms, most configured as suites. The main
showroom is called "Bluesville."
