House passes bill bringing Mississippi one step closer to legalizing mobile sports betting
SUMMARY: The Mississippi House of Representatives has passed House Bill 774, aiming to legalize mobile sports betting for those 21 and over, allowing bets to be placed via mobile devices beyond casino premises. Under the bill, mobile betting platforms must partner exclusively with a Mississippi casino, though casinos can have multiple platform partnerships. The bill, designed to protect casino revenues and address industry concerns, requires wagers to ultimately be with the casinos, which collect the revenue and pay taxes. An amendment may direct taxes from mobile betting to state road and bridge funds. This move could align Mississippi with other states that have legalized mobile sports betting, given further legislative approval and endorsement by the governor.

SUMMARY: The planned Mississippi Gulf Coast Buc-ee's opening has been postponed to summer 2025, deviating from the initial spring 2025 and earlier projections of November 2024. A Buc-ee's spokesperson confirmed the revised timeline but declined to discuss ongoing construction details. Road improvements, including a $15 million reconstruction of Menge Avenue's intersection and I-10 expansion, are being undertaken to manage expected traffic. When completed, this Buc-ee's will be among the largest, featuring 120 fuel stations, 24 electric vehicle charging spots, and a car wash, as part of the company's expansion across eight states.

SUMMARY: The Southern Miss baseball team surged back into the Baseball America rankings at No. 25 after sweeps against Coastal Carolina and Arkansas State, culminating in a total of 38 runs. Standouts included shortstop Ozzie Pratt and DH Slade Wilks, contributing significantly to the offense. Now, second in the Sun Belt, they aim for a high NCAA Tournament seed, facing Ole Miss and Texas State next. Mississippi State ranks No. 15/16 despite losing a series to Arkansas but could secure a regional host spot. Ole Miss gained momentum after defeating No. 3 Texas A&M, eyeing an NCAA Tournament return with critical upcoming games.
