Where the casinos in North Dakota 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 Dakota are
A list of 4 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 Dakota 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 Dakota
1 of North Dakota's 4 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.
One of them is run by a tribal government, the one below:
- Spirit Lake Nation
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 nearest casinos outside North Dakota

Casinos in North Dakota: common questions
How many casinos are there in North Dakota?
This directory lists 4 land-based casino properties in North Dakota, 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 Dakota has the most casinos?
Hankinson, with 1 of the 4 properties listed here. The rest cluster around New Town, Saint Michael, Sioux County.
Are the opening hours on this page reliable?
0 of the 4 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 Dakota?
305 miles separate the two furthest-apart properties, measured straight-line from their own coordinates. 1 of the 4 are within 25 miles of Hankinson and 1 within fifty, so the practical answer depends on which end of North Dakota you start from — the furthest from that cluster is 4 Bears Casino & Lodge, 305 miles out.
Are the casinos in North Dakota tribal or commercial?
Of the 1 properties here that name an operator, 1 is 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 North Dakota; sharing your location ranks them by how far you actually have to drive.
