The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians' gaming site in Jones County will be called Bok Homa Casino.
Tribe spokesman Warren Strain said the name means "red creek" in Choctaw.
Strain said construction is ahead of schedule and a job fair will be held for the casino October 22 at Sawmill Square Mall in Laurel. A second job fair will be held October 29 in Biloxi.
Strain says the casino wants to hire more than 300 full- and part-time employees.
The casino will have 722 slot machines, and a quick-serve eatery is planned for the 27,000-square-foot site. It is scheduled to open in mid-December.
