The casinos were closed for 15 hours.
Casinos along the Mississippi Gulf Coast were allowed to reopen at 8 a.m. Wednesday (Sept. 5) after being closed temporarily because of Tropical Storm Gordon, the Biloxi Sun-Herald reported.
The Mississippi Gaming Commission closed the casinos for 15 hours as the storm made its way toward the Gulf Coast. It made landfall near Jackson County about 10 p.m. Tuesday.
There are 12 casinos along the Mississippi Coast. Several communities in south Mississippi imposed overnight curfews.
