In December 2025, Scarlet Pearl Casino Resort officially marked its 10-year anniversary, an important milestone for a destination that has become a cornerstone of entertainment and hospitality on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. As the resort enters 2026, the celebration continues, honoring a decade defined by growth, community investment, and unforgettable guest experiences.

Since opening its doors, Scarlet Pearl has evolved into a premier destination for both locals and visitors, recognized for its elevated hospitality, innovative gaming offerings, and commitment to excellence across every touchpoint. That success, leadership says, has always been rooted in people, guests, team members, and the community that surrounds the resort.

CEO LuAnn Pappas emphasizes that being family-owned has shaped Scarlet Pearl’s approach from the very beginning. “One of the core pillars we established was ensuring we took care of the community, our employees who live and work here, and the city of D’Iberville,” Pappas said. “That’s what Scarlet Pearl is known for. It’s in our DNA and part of our fabric.”

As Scarlet Pearl Casino Resort looks ahead, its mission remains unchanged: to deliver exceptional gaming, hospitality, and entertainment while continuing to serve as a shining jewel of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. With a decade behind it and many more ahead, the resort enters its next chapter grounded in the values that built its success and energized by the future still to come.
