Fitzgeralds Tunica Casino & Hotel, usually called the Fitz, is a 21-and-over casino hotel along the Mississippi River in Tunica Resorts, Mississippi. Its main appeal is having an advertised selection of more than 850 slots, table games, a sportsbook, casual dining, and a room in one place. I see it as a gambling-focused getaway rather than a broad resort vacation. The adults-only rule includes the hotel and restaurants, while dining schedules and transportation require some planning.

Location and overall appeal
The Fitz is in the Tunica Resorts casino area, not in the center of the town of Tunica. Use the Lucky Lane address for directions. This is not a downtown hotel where you can count on walking out into a restaurant and nightlife district.
For me, the sensible reason to book here is the combination of gambling, food, and lodging in one place. Staying on-site removes the drive to another hotel after a casino session. If you want to explore other properties or spend time in Memphis, a car or prearranged transportation makes the trip easier.
Casino floor: slots, video poker, and table games
Wyndham advertises more than 850 slot machines, table games, and a sportsbook. That provides several options for a gambling-focused visit, although an advertised inventory does not guarantee that a particular cabinet or table will be available when you arrive.
I would choose by the games I actually want to play, not by the biggest machine count on a billboard. For table players especially, the rules, minimum wager, and operating schedule matter more than the overall size of the floor.
Slots and video poker
The property’s MYEDGE rules distinguish reel slots from cabinets containing video poker, confirming that video poker is part of the offering. Machine titles and denominations can change, so avoid making a reservation around one remembered game.
Check a slot’s total wager before spinning. A low denomination can still produce a substantial bet once lines, credits, and optional features are included. On video poker, check the paytable rather than assuming two machines with the same game name offer identical payouts.
Jackpot stories are entertaining, but they do not tell you what your next session will return. Neither a recent winner nor a quiet bank of machines means a game is due.
Table games
The Tunica tourism bureau’s Fitz listing includes single-deck blackjack and craps. If either is your main draw, ask whether it will be operating during your visit; the listing does not provide table schedules or blackjack payout rules.
Check the table sign before buying in, and do not build a budget around an old minimum bet. For blackjack, look at the natural-blackjack payout and other rules alongside the minimum. For poker-style house games, count required wagers separately from optional side bets. The smallest number on the sign does not always describe the full cost of a hand.
Poker room
The Fitz has no dedicated player-versus-player poker room. Video poker and poker-themed table games are different products, not a cash-game room or tournament schedule.
Sportsbook
The Fitz has an on-property sportsbook, which Wyndham includes in its advertised gaming selection. Confirm betting hours before making a special trip, particularly if you want to wager early or collect after a late game. Do not assume the sportsbook follows the same schedule as the rest of the casino.
Hotel: rooms, booking costs, and amenities
The hotel makes the most sense when it lets you keep the evening in one place. Wyndham describes its guest rooms as nonsmoking, with a 40-inch HDTV, a desk, ironing amenities, a hair dryer, and bath products. Free WiFi and parking are useful inclusions, but I would still compare the complete reservation price rather than treating those amenities as proof of a bargain.
Compare final totals, not headline room rates. Wyndham says its price calendar includes taxes and fees, while rates elsewhere on the page include fees but not taxes. A higher-looking calendar price may simply include charges another display has not yet added.
Before reserving, check the cancellation terms for your specific rate, any incidental deposit or card hold, and the room features you need. If accessibility matters, request the particular bathroom, bed, and route features required rather than relying on a general accessible-room label.
Indoor pool, Jacuzzi, and fitness center
The Fitz pool and amenities page lists an indoor pool and Jacuzzi for hotel guests from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. Wyndham also carries a renovation notice with an August 1, 2026, end date. Confirm availability before booking specifically to swim; that dated notice does not establish present access.
A fitness center, convenience store, and meeting space round out the listed facilities. I would treat these as useful extras to a casino stay, not the foundation of a full nongambling vacation.
Restaurants and Riverview Buffet hours
The dining lineup leans toward familiar, casual meals. The practical question is not just what is on the property, but what will be serving when you are hungry.
| Dining option | Food | Planning point |
|---|---|---|
| Riverview Buffet | American homestyle cooking and international dishes | Wyndham lists Wednesday through Saturday service; see the schedule below |
| Fuddruckers | Burgers and other casual meals | Listed as an extra-late option; confirm the closing time |
| BaZaar Pizza | Pizza, quesadillas, street tacos, and other casual food | Listed hours: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. |
| Dunkin’ / Baskin-Robbins | Breakfast items, coffee, donuts, and ice cream | Listed hours: 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. |
Wyndham lists the following Riverview Buffet schedule:
- Wednesday: 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
- Thursday: 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.
- Friday: 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.
- Saturday: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The buffet is not an all-day, every-day fallback. My practical take: choose the buffet day first if that meal is a major reason for visiting. For an overnight stay, check breakfast and late-night food separately. Confirm current hours, prices, and any players-club offer rather than assuming a promotion applies.
Parking, airport transportation, and visit essentials
Free parking is advertised, along with complimentary valet. Ask about valet availability if you will depend on it. Hotel guests carrying luggage may find it easier to locate the check-in entrance before choosing a parking space.
Wyndham places the property 30 miles from Memphis International Airport. That is its stated distance, not a guaranteed route length or travel time. Arrange a rental car or confirmed transfer, and do not assume an airport shuttle comes with the room. Plan the return trip too, particularly for a late departure.
Nonsmoking rooms do not establish a smoke-free casino. If smoke exposure is a deciding factor, ask specifically about the gaming floor and the route between your room, restaurants, and gambling areas.
All casino, hotel, and restaurant guests must be at least 21. Younger family members cannot simply stay away from the gaming floor. Bring valid government-issued photo identification.
MYEDGE rewards: what the earning rules mean
The published MYEDGE rules make membership free and describe rewards for eligible slot and table play. Insert your card correctly at machines, and present it to the dealer or supervisor before table play so your activity can be tracked.
The key distinction is wagering volume: eligible reel slots require $5.00 in cash coin-in per tier point, while cabinets containing video poker require $10.00. At an illustrative $500.00 in cumulative eligible cash wagers, that produces 100 tier points on reel slots versus 50 on video-poker cabinets. This is a rules-based illustration, not a tested gambling session or a prediction of losses.
Gamboool original analysis
We assembled the comparison below from published information and our calculations. These are selected examples, rather than measured gambling sessions or a representative survey.
| Detail | Published information |
|---|---|
| Fitz Tunica age policy: Casino, hotel, and restaurant access | The published age restriction covers hotel and restaurant guests as well as casino guests. |
| Fitz Tunica pool and Jacuzzi: Published access and hours | The property lists daily access for hotel guests from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.; confirm availability before booking specifically for the pool. |
| Fitz Tunica Wyndham listing: Pool renovation notice | The opened Wyndham page retains a notice naming August 1, 2026, as the renovation end date. This dated notice alone does not establish present pool availability. |
| Fitz Tunica hotel: Parking, Wi-Fi, and room smoking designation | Wyndham advertises free parking and Wi-Fi and describes its guest rooms as nonsmoking; this passage does not establish a smoke-free gaming floor. |
| Wyndham booking display: Calendar versus other rate displays | The calendar includes taxes and fees, while rates elsewhere on the page include fees but not taxes. Compare final reservation totals rather than differently presented headline rates. |
| Fitz Tunica gaming: Advertised gaming offerings | Wyndham advertises more than 850 slots, table games, and a sportsbook; the passage does not supply sportsbook hours or table rules. |
| Riverview Buffet: Published service schedule | Wyndham lists Wednesday through Saturday service with different opening and closing times, rather than an all-day, daily buffet schedule. |
| BaZaar Pizza: Published dining hours | Wyndham lists BaZaar service from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., a different schedule from the buffet and breakfast counter. |
| Dunkin’ / Baskin-Robbins: Published dining hours | Wyndham lists an early-morning opening and an evening closing, making this a published breakfast option rather than an overnight outlet. |
| MYEDGE membership: Enrollment cost and eligibility | Membership is free, with a minimum age of 21, identification requirements, and eligibility restrictions. |
| MYEDGE earning rules: Reel slots versus video-poker cabinets | The published rules require $5.00 cash coin-in per tier point on reel slots versus $10.00 on cabinets containing video poker. |
| MYEDGE promotional play: Tier-point and point eligibility | Promo cash and promo-chip play do not earn tier points or points under the published rules. |
| MYEDGE tier points: Value and multiplier treatment | Tier points have no cash or free-play value, and promotional point multipliers do not apply to tier points. |
| MYEDGE comp redemption: Eligible outlets and excluded expenses | Comps may cover designated dining, hotel, and other outlets, but not taxes or gratuities. A comp does not necessarily eliminate the entire bill. |
| MYEDGE balances: Inactivity expiration | Earned promo cash, comp dollars, tier points, and points expire after 12 consecutive months of inactivity. |
| MYEDGE table-game tracking: Player action required | Table players must present their card before playing to have play tracked accurately. |
| MYEDGE tier qualification: Published earning period | The qualification year runs May 1 through April 30, rather than following the calendar year. |
| Fitz gaming-history statements: Request timing and processing | The published request form says current-year statements are unavailable until year-end and asks guests to allow two weeks for processing. |
| Fitz gaming-history statements: Identification and delivery | Requests require photo identification, and the form specifies mailed statements rather than immediate delivery. |
| Calculation | Result | Takeaway |
|---|---|---|
| Reel-slot tier credits at an illustrative $500.00 coin-in | 100 MYEDGE tier points | Compare this with the video-poker scenario at the same cumulative coin-in. Coin-in measures wagering volume, not the amount lost. |
| Video-poker tier credits at an illustrative $500.00 coin-in | 50 MYEDGE tier points | The published video-poker earning rule produces fewer tier points than the reel-slot rule at equal coin-in; this does not establish which game offers better gambling value. |
| Reel-slot coin-in for an illustrative 100-tier-point target | $500.00 of cumulative cash coin-in | Use this as a wagering-volume comparison, not a trip budget or an expected loss. A points target is not a reason to extend play. |
| Video-poker coin-in for an illustrative 100-tier-point target | $1,000.00 of cumulative cash coin-in | The same illustrative tier-point target requires more wagering volume on cabinets containing video poker than on reel slots; rewards alone do not determine which game to choose. |

Method: Published inputs collected 2026-10-16. Illustrative assumptions are labeled, and the full calculation inputs remain in the saved research record. These examples support planning; they do not predict a particular session.
Coin-in means the total amount wagered, including money wagered again after a win. It is not your starting bankroll or the amount you lose. Faster tier-point earning does not establish better gambling value, and I would not change games or extend a session just to chase a card level.
The rules also say promotional cash and promotional chips do not earn points or tier points, and point multipliers do not apply to tier points. Comp dollars cannot cover taxes or gratuities, so keep money available for those expenses even when an offer covers a meal or room.
Occasional visitors should note the stated expiration after 12 consecutive months of inactivity. Check current terms at the club desk before counting on an old balance.
Who should choose the Fitz?
I would shortlist the Fitz for adults who want a casino-focused overnight trip, with slots, table games, a sportsbook, casual meals, and a room in one place. Free parking is useful, but the limited buffet schedule and spread-out Tunica setting reward advance planning. Families with anyone under 21 should choose another hotel because the restriction includes rooms and restaurants; travelers wanting a walkable nightlife district should also look elsewhere.
