US casino map

What states have casinos, and how many casinos are in the United States

What states have casinos is answered below in the order that actually tells you something — by count, not alphabetically. Nevada alone holds 23% of every property in the United States, and the ten biggest states hold most of the rest. This is the answer to "how many casinos are in the us" that can be checked: a count of rows that each have coordinates behind them.

A map of casinos in USA by state is the fastest way to see that shape, and the plot below is exactly that — every property in the directory drawn at its own coordinates, not a colour-coded state fill standing in for one. Under it is the same thing as a list, because a map is bad at telling you Nevada has 226 and a table is bad at showing you where they are.

Every state with a casino, and how many it has

Alphabetical here rather than ranked, because this is the list you scan for your own state — the ranked reading is the map above and the prose beside it. Each state links to its own page, with cities, published hours and official sites.

States with casinos, but only a handful

One or two properties cannot fill a state guide, so these states with casinos are listed here in full instead of getting a page that would rank for a question it could not answer.

Which states have no casinos on the US casino map

Hawaii, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah and Vermont have no land-based casino in this dataset at all — 5 of the fifty United States, and neither does the District of Columbia, which is not one. Montana would make 6, but it is blank here by our own decision rather than for want of casinos; the paragraph below explains why. Which states have no casinos is a question with two answers depending on what counts — Hawaii and Utah prohibit commercial casino gambling outright, while a state with no casino floor may still run a lottery, licensed charitable gaming or retail sports betting.

Montana is one more blank on our US casino map, and for a different reason: it has hundreds of licensed gaming rooms, almost all of them inside bars and truck stops, and neither open source could tell one from a casino floor. Rather than publish 225 rows we could not stand behind, the state is out of the dataset — see how this directory is built.

Legal gambling in the U.S.

Legal gambling in the U.S. is state-by-state, and that is why this list looks the way it does

There is no federal casino licence. Every property in this directory exists because one state, or one tribal compact under federal law, allowed it — which is why U.S. casinos by state is the only honest way to organise them, why what states have casinos is a question about legislatures rather than geography, and why the totals swing from 226 in Nevada to none at all in 5 states. Population barely enters into it. Any state-by-state gambling guide that reads like a ranking of the biggest states has stopped describing the law.

Oklahoma is the clearest example of the second kind. How many casinos are in Oklahoma? 74 in this directory — second only to Nevada — and effectively all of them tribal, spread across the state rather than clustered in one resort city. See casinos in Oklahoma.

One thing this directory is not: a guide to land-based and online casinos by state. It covers land-based properties only — places with a street address and coordinates. Online gambling is licensed under a separate regime in a small number of states, it is not what this map is drawn from, and nothing here links to an online operator.

  • Commercial licensing

    A private operator may run a floor under a state licence — concentrated in California and Oklahoma among others, and the regime most people picture when they picture a casino.

  • Tribal gaming

    Negotiated compact by compact under the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. This is what fills the map in states with no commercial industry at all, and why a state can hold dozens of properties without ever having licensed one commercially.

  • Racinos

    Gaming permitted only at an existing racetrack, which is why a few states show a handful of properties in places that look arbitrary until you know there is a track there.

Casinos by state: common questions

How many casinos are there in the United States?

This directory holds 980 land-based casinos across 44 states. It is a sourced count rather than an official one: every property here exists in OpenStreetMap or Wikidata with real coordinates, and anything we could not corroborate was left out rather than estimated.

What states have casinos?

44 of them, out of the fifty states and the District of Columbia. The full ranked list is on this page, ordered by count rather than alphabetically, because the count is the part that tells you something. States with casinos are made, not born: the number follows what each legislature and each tribal compact has allowed.

Which state has the most casinos?

Nevada, with 226 properties in this list — more than the next two states combined. Density follows licensing rather than population, which is why the ranking looks nothing like a list of the biggest states.

Which states have no casinos?

Hawaii, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah and Vermont have no land-based casino in this dataset at all — 5 of the fifty United States, plus the District of Columbia, which is not a state. Montana has none here either, but by our decision rather than for want of casinos: its licensed gaming rooms sit inside bars and truck stops and neither source could tell one from a casino floor. Georgia, Idaho, Rhode Island and Alaska have so few that they are listed here in full rather than getting a page of their own.

Is every casino in the US on this map?

No directory can claim that honestly. This one covers what two open sources can account for, and it says where each fact came from. Small bar and truck-stop gaming rooms are the usual gap — they are licensed like casinos in some states and tagged like bars in the data.
