(WAFB) - Some of the 12 casinos on Mississippi Gulf Coast started reopening Thursday, just over a day after the most severe weather from Hurricane Isaac pushed through the area.
The two casinos in Hancock County closed since Monday, and the 10 in Harrison County were ordered to close Tuesday as Isaac was still in the Gulf of Mexico.
Island View in Gulfport and IP in Biloxi opened Thursday evening, and some others were expected to, as well.
The Grand and the Palace casinos say they plan to open Friday.
