In a statement released on its website, Boyd Gaming Corporation, the operator of Sam's Town Tunica, announced the closure of its casino located in Tunica, Mississippi. The commercial casino, known as Boyd Casino, will close its doors on Saturday, November 29.

The closure comes as a result of unfavorable market conditions that have been affecting the casino industry in northwest Mississippi over the past 20 years. The decline in demand has been a significant factor in the closure, with several of Tunica's original casinos having closed since 2014.

The statement indicates that the decision to close Sam's Town Tunica was not an easy one for the company. The announcement was made by Terrance Davis, a reporter for WATN-TV, and the hotel and gambling hall's parent company communicated the closure to ABC24.

At this time, the statement does not mention any other Boyd Casino branches being affected by the closure. The exact reasons for the closure of Sam's Town Tunica are not specified in the provided paragraph. The closing of Boyd Casino's Sam's Town Tunica branch was not specified as a temporary closure.

The statement does not provide details about potential reopening or compensation for employees. Further details about the closure, such as these, are not provided in the paragraph. The closure of Sam's Town Tunica may potentially impact the local economy of the area.
