The full list rather than a top ten with the rest left off. It arrives alphabetically; press a column heading to sort by city, or by whether hours are published — useful when you are deciding tonight rather than planning a weekend. 11 of them publish an official site we can link and 2 publish opening hours.

Where the casinos in Arizona actually are

Casino density follows licensing and geography, not population, which is why the list below rarely matches a list of the state's biggest cities. These are the towns with at least one property in the directory, biggest first — the same properties as the map above, counted by the town each one gives.

Before you drive

How far apart the casinos in Arizona are

A list of 24 properties reads as a single answer, and it is not one: the question a reader arrives with is how long the drive is, and in Arizona that depends entirely on which end of the state they start from. These figures come from the same coordinates the table and the map use — straight-line miles, so treat them as the floor of a drive rather than its length.

There is no single centre here. The properties are spread widely enough that the nearest floor depends on where you already are, which is what the map on the home page is for — it ranks them by distance from your own location instead of by name.

Who runs the casinos in Arizona

9 of Arizona's 24 properties name an operator in the sources this directory is built from, which leaves most of the table blank on that column — blank rather than guessed at. Where the name is on record it answers the question a state list usually leaves open, which is who you are actually walking in to.

8 of them are run by a tribal government, these ones:

  • Gila River Indian Community
  • Quechan Indian Tribe
  • Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community
  • San Carlos Apache Tribe
  • Tohono O'odham Nation
  • Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe

A tribal floor sets its own house rules above whatever the state requires, including the age at the door, which is why two casinos an hour apart can admit different people. The difference between tribal and commercial casinos is worth reading before a first visit.

The other operators named in the sources are Desert Diamond Casinos & Entertainment — named, not classified: a tribe's own development company does not always carry the tribe's name, so this page does not call anything commercial that the data has not said is. Where a property links an official site — 11 of 24 do — that site is the authority on hours, age and whether the floor is open tonight.

Casinos in Arizona: common questions

How many casinos are there in Arizona?

This directory lists 24 land-based casino properties in Arizona, built from OpenStreetMap and Wikidata. That is what can be sourced today rather than an official count — a state regulator counts licences, and one licence is not always one building.

Which city in Arizona has the most casinos?

Chandler, with 2 of the 24 properties listed here. The rest cluster around Prescott, Scottsdale, Ak-Chin Village, Arivaca.

Are the opening hours on this page reliable?

2 of the 24 properties publish hours we can source; the rest show "not published" rather than a guess. Hours change for holidays and refurbishments, so the official site — linked in the last column where one exists — is the last word.

How far apart are the casinos in Arizona?

298 miles separate the two furthest-apart properties, measured straight-line from their own coordinates. 7 of the 24 are within 25 miles of Chandler and 10 within fifty, so the practical answer depends on which end of Arizona you start from — the furthest from that cluster is Spirit Mountain Casino, 200 miles out.

Are the casinos in Arizona tribal or commercial?

Of the 9 properties here that name an operator, 8 are run by a tribal government — which sets its own house rules, including the minimum age, above whatever the state requires. The rest either name an operator whose name says nothing about ownership or name none at all, and this page does not fill that in.

Can I see these casinos on a map?

Yes. The map on the home page holds every property in the directory and filters to Arizona; sharing your location ranks them by how far you actually have to drive.
