  • Beau Rivage hit two six-figure jackpots in three days, on Nov. 1 and Nov. 3, 2025.
  • South Mississippi casinos paid 26 jackpots of $100,000+ so far in 2025, two months left.
  • Those Nov. wins marked Beau Rivage’s ninth and tenth six-figure jackpots in 2025.

November got off to a hot start in Biloxi, as two players struck it rich in three days at the same casino.

The wins started Saturday, Nov. 1, when an unidentified player from Destin, Florida, was playing a Top Dollar slot machine at the Beau Rivage Resort and Casino. He placed a $100 bet on a $50 denomination and hit a $125,000 jackpot on his second spin.

Two days later, on Monday, Nov. 3, a resident of Ft. Walton Beach in the same area of the Florida Panhandle as the first winner, was playing at the Beau Rivage.

He bet a little less ­— $44 on a 50-cent denomination Money Gong sot machine — and played a little longer — 22 minutes — to win an even bigger jackpot of a $134,538.65.

These are the 25th and 26th jackpots of $100,000 or more won at South Mississippi casinos this year. They are the ninth and 10th won at the Beau Rivage.
