From a Google Maps review of The Corner Pocket:

The amount of illegal betting taking place at the pool tables is unsettling. How the Mississippi Gaming Commission has not gotten involved is unclear to me. You can sit anywhere near the tables and clearly see cash changing hands, open table betting and gambling on shots. While you cannot control everything at a venue, the establishment doesn’t seem to care if betting is taking place. Be careful visiting.​

I don't spend much time there, but I would be surprised if they didn't have gambling.
