Gulf Coast Poker Sees Holiday Crowds

About a year ago many of the casinos in the Gulf Coast area were still rebuilding towards a grand re-opening, emerging from the chaos that was Hurricane Katrina, and the future of riverboat casinos and other poker venues in Louisiana and Mississippi was still in doubt. Now the casinos are drawing in the crowds, especially those looking for holiday distractions. Gamblers and poker players have their choice when it comes to holiday spirit in their casinos, as the outfits are decked out in Christmas gear ranging from sparse to spastic. Casino operators are confident heading into the new year that the future of their industry is now secure.
