Everyone loves to feel like a winner, which is why sportsbooks are an emerging business all around the country, including right here in Mississippi. With hundreds of thousands of dollars wagered in Mississippi’s casinos and sports betting every year, it’s clear the fun and excitement of betting on professional and collegiate sports is here to stay.
Mississippi legalized gambling on sporting events in the summer of 2018. Our state offers betting options for all NFL, MLB, and NBA games, but you can also place wagers on auto racing, horse racing, hockey, soccer, and golf. Some places will even accept wagers on darts. Mississippi also is one of a few states that allow gambling on in-state collegiate athletics, so you can place bets on Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Southern Miss, or any of the state’s other colleges to add some extra excitement to your Saturday.
