Tribal Enterprises
The Tunica-Biloxi Tribe has established the following enterprises:
The Tunica-Biloxi Economic Development Authority
- The Tunica-Biloxi Economic Development Authority (EDA) serves as the business development arm of the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana with the primary objective of expanding and diversifying the economic base and financial interests of the tribe while ensuring the well-being of both tribal members and the local community.
- Paragon Casino Resort offers the best of all worlds. A world-class casino packed with the most popular slots and table games and a full-throttle poker room. And that’s not all. Lavish hotel accommodations with more than 500 rooms and suites. An indoor tropical pool with a swim-up bar, full-service spa, three-screen cinema, fabulous dining choices, retail shops, championship golf course, and live entertainment.

Tunica-Biloxi Indians Political Action Committee
- Decisions made in Washington and Baton Rouge can have a dramatic impact on businesses in areas as diverse as taxes and budget expenditures, economic development and tourism, vendors doing business with Louisiana Tribes, and a host of other issues. The Tunica-Biloxi Indians, with its subsidiary businesses, do a substantial amount of work in all of these areas. Because of pending legislation, on both the State and National Levels, we have established the Tunica-Biloxi Indian PAC. (Federal and State regulations governing contributions necessitate two separate entities). The PAC is funded by voluntary contributions from eligible employees, vendors, and interested parties.
- *Please note: TBIPAC contributions are not intended to advance any particular social agenda, but rather to promote the election of candidates in Louisiana and Washington who understand and support the role that the Tunica-Biloxi Indians can play in the economic well-being of Louisiana and its hard-working citizens. Contributions to the TBIPAC are strictly voluntary.
- Acacia Entertainment is a finance and production company that is a joint venture between the Tunica-Biloxi Tribal Economic Development Corporation, a wholly owned entity of the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana, and Savvy Media Holdings.

- Tunica-Biloxi Holdings, Inc. (TBHI) is a federally chartered, Section 17, holding company. TBHI focuses on wealth creation for the tribe through various investment vehicles. TBHI’s core competencies guide our strategies in real estate, mergers and acquisitions, healthcare and passive investing.
- MobiLoans, LLC, a tribal lending entity wholly owned by the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana (“Tribe”), a federally recognized Indian tribe, operates within the Tribe’s reservation.
