TUNICA, MS -
(WMC-TV) - For the first time ever, casinos in Tunica, Mississippi were forced to close their doors Sunday until the rising waters recede.
At Horseshoe Casino, the Tunica County Sheriff's Office SWAT Team arrived with Brinks Security, armed with machine guns. They came to remove millions of dollars that was brought to Horseshoe Casino from Harrah's when the flood waters began pouring in and everyone was forced to evacuate.
Regional President of Caesars Entertainment Valerie Morris said in addition to cutting off the power, other items has to be removed from Harrah's as a safety precaution.
"Removing perishable goods to removing all the assets," said Morris. "All the chips, cash, computers, all sorts of things."
Gaming will stop at both Horseshoe and Tunica Roadhouse Casinos at 4:00 a.m. Monday. People are expected to be out of the building by 11:00 a.m. Monday. Both casinos could reportedly remain closed for about three to six weeks.
