In the early Nineties gambling came to Mississippi and casinos sprouted like cotton throughout the state. Lady Luck Rhythm and Blues Casino planted itself on the banks of the Mississippi River at the Crossroads of Highways 61 and 49 where Lula, Mississippi meets the bridge to Helena, Arkansas. The casino-hotel, named and themed for the rich musical heritage of the Delta, strives to support causes that are inherent to the Delta and it’s music. In 1995, Lady Luck began sponsoring the King Biscuit Blues Festival deemed the world’s largest free Blues event. Lady Luck also sponsors the smaller, but equally respected, Sunflower River Blues Festival in Clarksdale, Mississippi. Over the years both festivals and the Blues have exploded, and Lady Luck continues to haul the dynamite.
