Mississippi OKs Plan To

Quicken Licensing Process

In an attempt to speed up the casino licensing process in Missis- sippi, state gaming officials have decided to accept background checks from other jurisdictions, rather than duplicating the work themselves. The commission has reportedly claimed it will, however, continue to update and/or expand upon the checks.

The commission reportedly has an investigation staff of 14, capable of carrying on about four investiga- tions simultaneously. Each inves- tigation reportedly lasts three months, and to date there are more than 20 applications pending.
