Rudi Schiffer Gaming Guru - Page 15  Big Fight Sponsorships Suit Caesars In Tunica11 August 2004
With three casinos in Tunica Resorts, Caesars Entertainment has a big presence
and it easily follows that sponsorship of big events, like the Roy Jones vs Glenn
Johnson IBF light heavyweight world champion match, is a natural fit.
While the fight is being held in Memphis at the new FedExForum and ... (read more)
Heard it on the River2 August 2004
This hasn't been confirmed but we heard that GRAND CASINO, who stepped up to sponsor
the LEWIS-TYSON fight two years ago, will again answer the bell and be the major
sponsor for the ROY JONES-GLENN JOHSON IBF light heavyweight championship this
September in the FEDEXFORUM. It would appear that Tunica would also be the site
of training camps for both boxers. ... (read more)

Funny thing about timing. I pursue Horseshoe Boss JACK BINION for an exclusive
interview for over a year and return from a respite on the RED RIVER in Arkansas
to find out that what I had predicted earlier in this column, that HARRAH'S ENTERTAINMENT
would complete its acquisition of HORSESHOE GAMING on or about July 1, had taken
place. ... (read more)

You first read about the Canadians coming south from oil-rich Alberta to chip-rich
Tunica Resorts in this column and now that the Mississippi Gaming Commission has
approved them moving forward on the road to build a casino complex here, it now
is a case of "show me the money."
MYRIAD WORLD RESORTS was ... (read more)

This is somewhat hard to imagine but if it were to occur, it would it transform
TUNICA COUNTY into a real hot destination. We heard, you have also, that Myriad
Gold from Edmonton, Alberta in Canada not only has applied to the state gaming
commission for a casino site here off Indian Mound Road but that ... (read more)
Grand Blackjack to Sizzle in July4 June 2004
July is expected to produce very hot temperatures for the South but in Tunica
it will be even hotter with Grand Casino's $100,000 Sizzling Hot Blackjack Tournament.
The event is another in Grand's successful blackjack tournament series and
will be a two-day event on July 9 and 10. An earlier one this year, also for
$100,000, attracted a strong field. ... (read more)

Lots of great news coming out of TUNICA RESORTS in recent days such as a $65 million
waterpark, grand opening of the TUNICA NATIONAL GOLF & TENNIS CLUB, two new
casino filings for licenses, and an option exercised to buy over 500 acres for
a motor sports complex that could eventually cost $100 million. ... (read more)

Just got back from the 11th annual SOUTHERN GAMING SUMMIT that was well attended
by Tunica gaming execs and more than 5,000 other folks, not to mention 200 or
so exhibitors. Presented by ASCEND MEDIA GAMING GROUP and the GULF COAST GAMING
ASSOCIATION, this event gets better and bigger every year. ... (read more)
Heard it on the River23 April 2004
GOV. HALEY BARBOUR is known, we have heard, to have three positions on the state's
gaming…no gaming expansion beyond the present counties, no lottery and no
raising of gaming taxes. Sounds good to me and I think the industry will take
comfort on those issues. Speaking of lotteries, don't hear much from ... (read more)
