Mississippi casino opening soon

MISSISSIPPI – As reported by the WLOX News: "The Silver Slipper Casino is set to open Thursday at 7 p.m.

"'Right now, we're watching the clock, but like I said, I've been in this situation before, and the transformation between now and Thursday night will just be remarkable,' said the casino's general manager John Ferrucci.

"…Six-hundred-thirty employees are also on the casino payroll.

"'Of those 630 employees, if I'm not mistaken, the correct number is 480 are Hancock County residents or misplaced Hancock County residents waiting to come back and this is an opportunity for them. So, we're very pleased with how that went. We really felt we were going to have a struggle with finding people to work,' he said."
