A casino developed by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians which held its grand opening in the 20th of December 2010, the Bok Homa Casino, is currently providing good news to its investors. After having reached its first month in being fully operational, the casino has more than equaled its projections of the figures expected by casino experts to be arrived at in terms of the number of guests frequenting the property. As the first month of operations came and passed, patrons still continue to frequent the facility and still coming back for more, much to the delight of many, especially the casino’s developer.

The Bok Homa Casino is operated under the tenure of Pearl River Resort, which has a number of different casinos listed among its ownership. Such casinos include Silver Star Hotel & Casino, the Golden Moon Hotel & the Arena at the Golden Moon, Geysar Falls Water Theme Park, Dancing Rabbit Golf Club, and a great deal of quantity in restaurants and dining venues. Pearl River Resort’s communications director, Warren Strain, has made known his views regarding Bok Homa’s recent triumphant launching. “During its first month of operation, Bok Homa Casino equalled or exceeded our expectations. From the opening through January 17 (28 days), we have had 55,349 visitors to Bok Homa Casino, an average of 1,977 visitors per day”, Strain announced. As what happens in every business launching, the curiosity of potential patrons usually peak in the beginning periods of the establishment and then slowly decrease once its novelty fades with time. This pattern goes the same with the casino industry where there is a leveling-off period generally categorized as a business trend.

Strain affirmed these data, saying that, “There will be peak periods and slow periods. Overall, we are still exceedingly pleased with the way everything has gone at Bok Homa and look forward to a very bright future in the Jones County Community.” Bok Homa Casino is located near Sandersville, on Choctaw Road in the Bogue Homa Community. During its planning process, the casino floors had a planned 500 to 700 slot machines which turned to out to become 720 slots as the grand opening came . As of today, the casino hosts a total of 768 brand new slot machines equipped with 300 games that have never been played anywhere, not even on the floors of Las Vegas. In addition to these, a twenty four hour a day and seven days a week provision for electronic blackjack, electronic roulette, and video poker machines, are to be found within the 27,000 square foot facility.

The ioperation of this gaming site was made possible through a voting measure performed by the MBCI Tribal Council. The voting ended with an 8-7 verdict, completely finalizing the rights for the erection of the Bok Homa Casino in its present address, in the month of June the previous year. Four months after the beginning of its construction, the opening of the casino came about. The months of construction could have been shortened without some tribal members requesting a hearing in tribal court which resulted to the voting process, delaying the progress in completing the establishment. MBCI Judge Jeffrey Webb stopped such acts by denying the petition for a “Writ of Mandus”, resulting in the construction and consequential operation of the Bok Homa Casino today.

An additional feature of Bok Homa that offers great delight to its patrons is the size of its stage floor which is accurately reported as being larger than its sister casino’s, Silver Star. The gaming hub also comes endowed with its very own quick serve restaurant, considered to be a delicatessen. It is also the first MBCI Casino built outside tribal headquarters in Philadelphia. Visible larger number of passersby frequenting convenience stores and other 24 hours a day business have been highly beneficial to its owners since Bok Homa Casino came into play within the area. Sandersville Police Chief Tony Hosey is in agreement with this as he was quoted, saying, “It’s definitely a noticeable increase in the amount of traffic at the convenience stores, anywhere from a little after mid-day to midnight. As far as the town is concerned, things are great.”
