Timing is Everything . . .
If you’ve ever visited one of Tunica’s six casinos, you know that the action never stops. In fact, something about the bright lights, game sounds, and the allure of achievement make visitors require very little rest. It’s hard to ease excitement, but sometimes you need to eat, sleep, or just take a breather. You may wonder what time of day you should step away for a little rest and relaxation without sacrificing your best opportunity to win big. The good news is that whether it’s day or night, weekday or weekend, there are always great plays depending on personal preferences and the timing of your stay.
Weekdays or Weekends?
Maybe you like the laid-back feel of solitary slot machines. If you’re looking for something slower paced, where you can move freely among games and machines without worrying about crowds, a weekday visit to a casino is your best bet. Imagine sauntering through Hollywood Casino’s 54,000 square foot gaming floor like a movie star, where the glamorous setting seems to be catered to your every step. Weekdays mean you can take your time, and you’re likely to find a seat at a slot machine or table without much difficulty. This means a random Wednesday at Fitz Casino will allow you the luxury of exploring a variety of 800+ slot machines in all denominations, from a penny to a five. Sometimes, convenience is hard to beat.
Weekends mean a few days away from the routine of a 9-5 job. A Tunica getaway is a great escape from the workweek. The crowds come in for fun and an outside chance at never having to work again. The slots and tables are spirited, full of conversation and camaraderie. Football weekends in the fall are amazing at Gold Strike, where the BetMGM Book Bar and Grill is full of fans placing bets and cheering on their favorite teams. Weekends are also an exceptional time for experienced players, who may find themselves with higher winning odds due to poker games against amateurs or rookies. Regardless, whether it’s a weekend or a weekday, there is always money to be made.
Night vs. Day
The evening more than likely brings the casino magic people often picture in their minds, with drinks clinking and crowds gathering around huge bets on high-stakes tables. Indeed, the only live poker room in Tunica, Horseshoe, is used to hosting competitive events such as the World Series of Poker. Playing at night means competing with high rollers and having more table games open, but it also brings with it more difficulty in finding an open table. The good news is that more foot traffic means better odds of a jackpot on progressive slots due to the sheer number of people playing for the prize. Because of this, it might be a good time to visit the high limit room at 1st Jackpot Casino, which features a five-dollar progressive slot machine with a growing jackpot of nearly half a million dollars.
Daytime gambling is a great time to enjoy a calm environment and compete with fewer people for your favorite games. Introverts or those looking for a more peaceful experience opt for daylight hours with minimal noise and competition. A casino such as Sam’s Town is incredibly peaceful yet entertaining during the day. Their expansive two floors of slots, sportsbook, and table games become much more manageable when the grounds are less congested.
Take Some Time in Tunica
The best day or time to play is reliant on personal preference and desired experience. Luckily, Tunica offers every gambling itinerary imaginable and six different casinos that can meet your gaming needs. Whether it’s low-key and laid back or raucous and enthralling, any time is the best time to visit Tunica.
