Casino Location Chosen For Freeman's Blues Club

The star of Million Dollar Baby and Shawshank Redemption chooses casino location for his new blues club.

Hollywood actor Morgan Freeman will soon start developing a blues club at the Golden Moon Hotel & Casino in Mississippi.

The gambling venue has been chosen as the ideal location for his new business venture, and work on the property is set to start imminently, reports the Associated Press.

Part of the Pearl River Resort, the Golden Moon Hotel & Casino is the site's newest gaming destination.

There are 572 brand-new rooms, 112 suites - of which 32 are VIP luxury suites - and 90,000 sq ft of casino space.

It is hoped that construction on the club will be finished by October this year. It will be the second blues business established by Freeman, who also has a bar in Clarksdale.
