The IP Casino Resort & Spa in Biloxi is truly a one-stop destination with plenty of excitement and amenities for everyone. This premier Mississippi Gulf Coast hot spot likes to keep its options fresh.

“We want something new every time people come,” says General Manager Jon Lucas. “Gaming is first and foremost, but we believe we’re a full-destination resort, and the non-gaming components are important. We have what I call differentiators that set us apart, including entertainment, restaurants and a state-of-the-art spa.”

Something new seems to be the norm at this rebranded property. “The cove area is one of our newest areas, and it’s probably the prettiest area we have,” Lucas says. “Right now we have 2,000 machines in the whole gaming area, and we’re always adding the latest, newest machines. We work hard with our marketing partners and vendors to ensure we have new games.” (more…)

Answering the million dollar question, Basil Nestor discusses the best strategies when approaching slots.

Q: I often see other people win big jackpots when they’re playing slots, but not me. Am I doing something wrong? How can I find slots that will let me win?

A: Keep in mind that winning a jackpot doesn’t necessarily make someone a net winner. How much did that person lose before hitting the big one? Also remember that nearly all slot games have a “negative-expectation” for players. In other words, you can win today, win tomorrow, and win five times next week, but the casino still has an advantage. If you continue to play, the machines will eventually take it all back. That’s how casinos earn a profit. (more…)

Happy Days™
Manufacturer: WMS Gaming
Happy Days™, based on the iconic television show, adds a new dimension of game play within the mystery progressive segment by randomly awarding one of five free spin amounts to eligible players with the Happy Days Mystery Free Spin Bonus. Eligible players contribute to the local area progressive, just as they would in a normal multi-level progressive, but in Happy Days they aren’t driving up dollar or credit amounts, but the free spin amounts! In addition, players can amplify their wins during free-spin through their individual Happy Days Multiplier. The more credits players bet and the quicker they play, the higher their multiplier will climb. And once the Happy Days Mystery Free Spin Bonus triggers, players play each of the free spins they have won at their current Happy Days Multiplier! It’s a whole new way to look at progressives!
