Golden Moon

The Choctaw Indian Pearl River Resort includes the two adjoined casinos, the "Silver Star" and the "Golden Moon". In the Summer of 2006, Pearl River moved the poker room from the Silver Star to the Golden Moon casino, occupying space formerly used as a sports bar (the "Sports Ticker").
