In the wake of Katrina, the Mississippi Gaming Commission changed its casino rules to allow land-based casinos. The Silver Slipper opened on November 9, 2006, as the first ground up built casino on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

A wall inside the casino paid homage to the legacy of the Silver Slipper, a Las Vegas casino that closed its doors in 1988.

In October 2012, Full House Resorts acquired the casino for $70 million, with plans to potentially add a hotel.[2] Construction on a 6 floor hotel began in summer of 2014, and topping-off occurred in November. The hotel opened in May 2015.[3]
