MS doesn't require a nonresident return if only income in MS is from gambling. The W-2g is considered the tax return in MS per MS DOR website.
The question is not what does MS require, the question is what PA requires.
As a resident of PA, can I get credit for income taxes paid to another state, which is not reciprocal?
Yes. In order to claim the credit, you must submit a copy of the other state's tax return, a completed PA Schedule G-L, and a copy of the W-2 showing the other state's withholding, with your PA return when it is filed.

Will PA consider the W-2G to be both the W-2 proving withholding and the tax return proving tax paid? I don't know. And you can't e-file with the W-2G because you can't attach outside documents in Turbotax. PA might accept an electronic copy of the W-2G, but they might require you to mail in a paper copy.
I also don't know how you can use Turbotax -- the program is designed to automatically allow a state credit if you prepare a non-resident return in the program, but if you don't prepare a MS non-resident return in Turbotax, the only way to enter the correct forms would be to use the desktop program installed on your own computer and enter everything manually. That's a lot of work for something that would be automatic if you prepared the MS return.
On your PA tax return, you list all your worldwide winnings and all your world-wide losses on schedule T. That goes into the calculation of overall taxes you owe. Then any out of state credit is calculated schedule G-L.
