All 3 casinos in North Carolina, sorted the way you need them

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. 2 of them publish an official site we can link and 0 publish opening hours.

Where the casinos in North Carolina 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 North Carolina are

A list of 3 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 North Carolina 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 North Carolina

1 of North Carolina's 3 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.

The other operators named in the sources are Delaware North — 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 — 2 of 3 do — that site is the authority on hours, age and whether the floor is open tonight.

The nearest casinos outside North Carolina

With 3 properties in the state, the closest floor to you may be over a state line — so here are the nearest ones that are not in North Carolina, measured from the properties above. Distances are straight-line miles, which is the honest way to compare them before a route is chosen.

Casinos in North Carolina: common questions

How many casinos are there in North Carolina?

This directory lists 3 land-based casino properties in North Carolina, 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 North Carolina has the most casinos?

Kings Mountain, with 1 of the 3 properties listed here. The rest cluster around Murphy, Paint Town.

Are the opening hours on this page reliable?

0 of the 3 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 North Carolina?

148 miles separate the two furthest-apart properties, measured straight-line from their own coordinates. 1 of the 3 are within 25 miles of Kings Mountain and 1 within fifty, so the practical answer depends on which end of North Carolina you start from — the furthest from that cluster is Harrah's Cherokee Valley River, 148 miles out.

Can I see these casinos on a map?

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