Gulfport, Mississippi's only casino became one of the region's largest when Island View Casino Resort opened its second phase to the public on Monday, May 14.

The new expansion nearly triples the resort's casino, which now offers a total of more than 80,000 square feet of gaming space, more than 2,100 slots and 47 table games.

Other expansion additions include a 24-hour restaurant called C&G Grille and two new bars - Center Bar and View Bar, which features live entertainment and extensive beer, wine and cocktail service.
