The Vicksburg Convention and Visitors Bureau has partnered with Vicksburg’s casinos to host the Vicksburg Poker Run on Nov. 5.

Now through Nov. 5, participants are asked to visit the Vicksburg Visitors Information Center at 52 Old Highway 27 to be dealt their first card. Then, participants can visit each of the four Vicksburg casinos on Nov. 5, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., to complete their poker hand, with fun and prizes along the way.

The top five poker hands of the day will win a prize, with second through fifth place receiving a total of $1,000 in Slot Play from the casinos, and a Harley Davidson FLTRX for the top hand Grand Prize winner. Players can see the grand prize at Harley Davidson of Jackson.

“We are so excited to partner with our four casino properties on this great event,” said Laura Beth Strickland, Visit Vicksburg Executive Director. “The Vicksburg Poker Run will be a great opportunity for travelers to get a feel for why our casinos make us the winning combination for the entertainment destination with the friendliest customer service teams, latest games and the most spectacular views of the beautiful Mississippi River.”
