History
Mississippi National Guard at Silver Slipper Casino during Hurricane Isaac (2012)

The casino was originally called the President Casino Broadwater Resort which was sold by President Casinos to Broadwater Development LLC on April 15, 2005.[1] Hurricane Katrina destroyed the casino barge used by the President Casino before it could be moved to its new location.

In the wake of Katrina, the Mississippi Gaming Commission changed its casino rules to allow land-based casinos. The Silver Slipper opened on November 9, 2006, as the first ground up built casino on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

A wall inside the casino paid homage to the legacy of the Silver Slipper, a Las Vegas casino that closed its doors in 1988.

In October 2012, Full House Resorts acquired the casino for $70 million, with plans to potentially add a hotel.[2] Construction on a 6 floor hotel began in summer of 2014, and topping-off occurred in November. The hotel opened in May 2015.[3]
