This is the first ‘Buffalo Zone’ to open in the region.

MGM Resorts International’s Beau Rivage Resort & Casino and Aristocrat Gaming have partnered to open Mississippi Golf Coast’s first ‘Buffalo Zone.’ The MGM Resorts International beachfront resort is comprised of 1,740 guest rooms and suites, ten restaurants and an 85,000-square-foot gaming area.

Beau Rivage President and COO Brandon Dardeau said: “Beau Rivage is the first Gulf Coast casino to partner with Aristocrat Gaming to bring the ‘Buffalo Zone’ to the region.

“Buffalo games are extremely popular among our players and having the opportunity to create a special gaming section allows us to further enhance our guests’ gaming experience.”

The new 1,500-square-foot ‘Buffalo Zone’ is located on the resort’s casino floor. The space is solely dedicated to Aristocrat’s Buffalo-themed games. Players will have access to well-known titles, including Buffalo Chief, Buffalo Max, Buffalo Gold, Buffalo Link, Buffalo Gold Revolution and Buffalo Grand. The room will house a total of 50 Buffalo-themed games.

Aristocrat’s Senior Vice President of Commercial Strategy and Data Analytics Jon Hanlin commented: “We’re thrilled to partner with Beau Rivage to launch Mississippi’s second ‘Buffalo Zone.’ We’ve had great response since opening the first Buffalo Zone last summer at Beau Rivage’s sister resort Gold Strike Casino Resort in Tunica and expect similar reaction on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

“Buffalo continues to be the strongest brand in gaming, and with Beau Rivage’ new ‘Buffalo Zone,’ players will enjoy all their favorite Buffalo-themed games in one exciting place.”s

Aristocrat Leisure Limited’s subsidiary, Aristocrat Technologies, is licensed in more than 300 gaming jurisdictions and operates in more than 90 countries.
