Marksville, Louisiana

Marksville, Louisiana is the home of Paragon Casino Resort, the first land-based casino in Louisiana.  The casino is owned and operated by the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana (http://www.tunica.org).  We found the casino clean and well-kept.

The Paragon is a large casino, by Louisiana standards, and has plenty of video poker.  The selection of good games is limited to DDB, Aces & Faces, and Double Aces & Faces.  However, we did find these games to be available at all denominations from 25c through $5 throughout the casino.  The JB and Bonus games are truly bad and should be avoided -- the best you'll find are 8/5 JB and 7/5 Bonus, but there is a great deal of 6/5 JB and Bonus which should, of course, be avoided.  We found no good games at the bar.

For players who are content with the limited selection of games, the Paragon has plenty to offer.  If you're looking for games other than those listed, you'll find the returns to be prohibitive.
