South Beach Casino & Resort has been granted site approval by the Mississippi Gaming Commission to construct a new casino in Hancock County.
The casino is expected to have around 40,000 square feet of gaming space, with 1,100 slot machines, 25 table games, and six poker tables, and will be located on a four-acre site on South Beach Boulevard in Clermont Harbor, west of Waveland.
Project manager Kirk Ladner believes acquiring site approval will ease the process of finding investors to maintain the casino and resort.
South Beach Casino & Resort has met all zoning requirements and received the approval necessary to host a gaming facility on the property. Developers have until 2026 to build the resort before the site approval expires.
