Tunica Resorts,[2] formerly known as Robinsonville until 2005,[citation needed] is a census-designated place (CDP) in northern Tunica County, Mississippi, United States, north of the county seat of Tunica. The community is situated mostly between the Mississippi River and U.S. Route 61, along the border with Arkansas. The population as of the 2020 census was 2,132.[3]
Tunica Resorts is the site of six casino resorts, and at one time generated the third largest gambling revenues in the nation, after Las Vegas and Atlantic City, New Jersey, but competition has increased in other locations, including properties owned by Native American tribes and operated on their reservations. The use of the name "Tunica" by the resorts led to the alternative name of Tunica Resorts to make it easier for tourists to find the destination. The unincorporated community of Robinsonville is in the south-central part of the CDP. The Robinsonville post office, with ZIP code 38664, is the mailing address for the entire CDP.
