A Mississippi coast casino was forced to shut down its gaming floor for several hours after its surveillance system malfunctioned.

The Scarlet Pearl Casino Resort in D’Iberville, just north of Biloxi, reported that “interruptions” with its surveillance coverage had prompted the shut down of all gaming until the system could be restored.

Scarlet Pearl CEO LuAnn Pappas addressed the issue in a Facebook post Monday morning.

“Despite all the rumors (and there were many) we experienced technical difficulties with our casino surveillance coverage,” Pappas wrote. “As such, we were required to shutdown the casino until coverage could be fully restored.”

The gaming floor reopened about 5:30 a.m. Tuesday. Other areas of the resort, including restaurants and the hotel, remained open to the public during the gaming shutdown. Pappas credited her staff for their efforts in getting the casino floor reopened.

“When they say ‘it takes a village’ they were not kidding,” she wrote. “Thank you for your patience and understanding. Most importantly, I want to thank our surveillance TEAM and I.T. Not a day passes whereby I do not tell myself how blessed I am to work along side a great team I call my family.”

Scarlet Pearl opened in December 2015. It’s a privately-owned casino resort with a 300-room hotel.
