The operation lasted for more than three hours between 3:30pm and 7pm. Emergency crews removed the workers from the entrance of the casino facility to the parking area. Multiple trips were made as five feet of water prevented the casino staff from making their way to their vehicles safely.

Another operation was carried out on Sunday night when a family staying at the hotel attached to the casino got trapped inside.

Extensive flooding in Hancock County

The emergency manager for Hancock County, Brian “Hootie” Adam, spoke about the situation involving the casino workers to local media. He said: “They can’t get out of there because of the floodwaters. Waters are pretty high down there.”

A Silver Slipper employee took to Facebook to report the extent of the flooding:

There were three further evacuations made in the local community, with authorities rescuing a family of six and two couples from different locations in the area.

Waters are pretty high down there.”

Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards declared a state of emergency on Friday ahead of the storm, with certain parts of Mississippi and Louisiana being evacuated in advance.

The flood caused by Storm Cristobal comes just a few weeks after the Silver Slipper Hotel and Casino reopened following its forced pandemic closure. Casinos in Mississippi began to reopen on May 21, albeit with reduced capacity.

Large turnouts were seen at the state’s casinos over Memorial Day weekend, with Mississippi facilities registering gross gaming revenue of $28.9m over the holiday. The figure showed a year-on-year rise of more than $5m despite only half of the state’s gambling properties being open.

The casino says on its Facebook page that there’s no flooding in its parking lot or casino.

The county’s other six casinos remain open.
