The Senate on Wednesday passed its version of a bill that would change the terms of leases casinos pay on state-owned coastline. House Bill 44 requires casinos to pay 1 percent of their gross gaming revenues. The plan would increase the tidelands fund from $7.4 million to almost $9 million annually, Robertson said.

Looks like Biloxi Casinos will be able to be rebuilt on land. Governor should sign anytime now.
