Fitz expands slot floor, set to open two eateries
TUNICA RESORTS
— Fitz Casino & Hotel announced it now has more slots than ever, 900, which was made possible by the new slot expansion area located on the second floor next to the soon- to-be appearing Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin Robbins.
“Sweet treats and
sweet slots, what more
could you ask for,” asked Vice President and General Manager Tony Scudiero. “I’m very proud of our new slot expansion area and I’m sure all of our guests will enjoy it.”
Plans call for the Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin Robbins to be open by the end of February, about the same time the renovation of third-floor hotel rooms are to be completed.
The Fitz Casino & Hotel property features more than 40,000 square feet of slots and table games, a 500- room hotel, an 8,000-square-foot event center and three food and beverage outlets, including Fuddruckers.
