Casinos in Washington: all 64 locations, mapped

Where the casinos in Washington 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.

Who runs the casinos in Washington

9 of Washington's 64 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:

• Cowlitz Indian Tribe
• Kalispel Tribe of Indians
• Puyallup Tribe of Indians
• Snoqualmie Indian Tribe
• Spokane Tribe
• Tulalip Tribes
• Yakama 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 other operators named in the sources are Port Gamble S'Klallam — 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 — 20 of 64 do — that site is the authority on hours, age and whether the floor is open tonight.
