Magnolia Bluffs Casino, Casino in Natchez, United States.
Magnolia Bluffs Casino is a casino in Natchez, Mississippi, with 45,000 square feet (4,200 m2) of gaming space, 580 slot machines and 10 table games. Architect Edward Vance gave the building a weathered wood exterior inspired by historic lumber mills, with later modifications modeled on photographs of carriage houses.
The building sits on the former site of Learned's Mill, a sawmill that operated continuously from 1828 until 1962 in Natchez. This Mississippi River location made the mill a key center for the area's lumber industry.
The casino's name refers to the magnolia trees and the bluff above the Mississippi River where Natchez stands. Its sportsbook opened in October 2018, after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowed sports betting in Mississippi. The weathered wood exterior was modeled on photographs of carriage houses, a later change to architect Edward Vance's lumber-mill design.
The venue operates 24 hours daily, providing access to gaming at any time of day or night. Parking is available on-site and visitors should confirm accessibility details before arriving.
