What States Have Casinos? Numbers and Statistics in 2026

The US gambling scene is among the biggest in the world, with casinos driving the industry. In fact, even in iGaming, the US is all in, with the US as one of the biggest demographics for top US crypto casinos.

The US’s love for casinos is undeniable. However, gambling laws tell a different story, with each US state having a different view. Still, the US casino industry thrives as more states legalize casinos, with the commercial gaming market projected to reach $78.72 billion in 2025. 

Discover the world of US casinos in this article, exploring the statistics and legalities to highlight which US states have casinos in 2026, as well as discussing the best crypto casino per state.

US States With Casinos

While the US is undoubtedly one of the world’s biggest casino havens, with numerous states hosting world-class casinos, the number of US states with casinos is not as straightforward as it may seem.

Studies show varying data. One source estimates there are around 1,455 land-based casinos across 44 states, while another puts the total at roughly 2,154. Looking solely at land-based commercial casinos, 27 US states had them in 2024. If tribal gaming operators are included, the number grows to around 29 states.

The gap comes down to how different jurisdictions define and regulate casino venues, including tribal casinos, racinos, and other forms of gambling.

Some allow commercial casinos, some rely heavily on tribal gaming, and some only permit narrower forms of casino-style gambling. The cleanest way to look at the US casino map is by separating states into categories, as seen in the next sections:

US States With Commercial Casinos

The easiest and most convenient casino type to categorise is US commercial casinos. This is because they are tracked consistently by the American Gaming Association (AGA).The US had around 492 commercial casino locations across 27 states, and land-based casino gaming revenue alone reached $49.89 billion, all in 2024. Additionally, there have been countless crypto casinos emerging in 2025.

Arkansas

As of 2025, the state has three licensed casinos, one of which is owned and managed by a Native American tribe. There is a fourth one awaiting approval from the Arkansas Racing Commission.

Code Sec. 5-66-101 et seq. and 23-110 et seq. regulate gambling in Arkansas, with casinos outlawed by the state up until 2019.

(World Casino Directory, Visit RI)

The Ocean State hosts two commercial casinos, both owned by Bally’s Corporation: Twin River Lincoln and Tiverton Casino Hotel. RI casinos offer Baccarat, Blackjack, Roulette, Let It Ride Poker, Three Card Poker, and Spanish 21.

States With Tribal Casinos

Tribal gaming plays a crucial role in the US casino industry, operating under a distinct framework. For FY2024, the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) reported $43.9 billion in tribal GGR from 532 gaming operations owned by 243 tribes across 29 states.

This makes tribal gaming too important to overlook. In certain states, tribal properties lead the market, while in others, they coexist with commercial casinos. This coexistence is a key reason why the reported number of casinos differs significantly across sources.

Alabama

Under the Alabama State Code Title 13A, all forms of gambling in the state are governed, including commercial casinos and tribal gaming operations.

There are 4 Casinos in Alabama; Native Americans own 3. Alabama casinos feature around 10,000 slot machines and 15 gaming tables, with bets ranging from $0.01 to $10.

Alabama offers Electronic Bingo, which was legalised on September 14, 2016. The state also offers Greyhound Racing, with two racetracks for those who enjoy the sport.

States With Limited or No Casino Access

Not every state follows the same casino model. Some permit riverboat casinos, racinos, or other hybrid venues, while others allow access to gambling only through narrow exceptions, such as offshore casino cruises. 

Georgia

Unlike the others on this list, there are no land-based Casinos in Georgia; instead, the state has a cruise ship that sails three miles offshore into international waters, where gambling is legal.

The Emerald Princess Casino is a four-decker cruise ship for adults (21-above). The casino boat offers table games and slots located in Brunswick. Georgia is also embedded in gambling history as this is the state where Edwin Lowe first coined the term “Bingo.”

Kentucky

The state’s most prominent form of gambling is horse racing, aka pari-mutuel betting, hosting the iconic Kentucky Derby since 1875.

Most gambling hubs in the state are Racetracks, while only two are land-based casinos, Derby City Gaming and Kentucky Downs Gaming.

South Carolina

Gambling in the Palmetto State requires pundits to try their luck in international waters, namely, Cruise Gambling in the port of Charleston.

• Big M Casino – Ship I
• Big M Casino – Ship II
• Carnival Ecstasy Casino
• Carnival Sunshine Casino

Virgin Islands

The US territory only has one official casino, the Carina Bay Beach Resort and Casino, located in St. Croix.

The Bottom Line

The US gambling industry is thriving in the aftermath of the pandemic, and we’re optimistic that the upward trend will continue in the future.

Judging by the stats, it’s unlikely to see drastic changes in the number of traditional casinos. Yet, more and more states are seeing the exponential profitability of casinos.

The development should pave the way for more online and traditional gambling opportunities that use cryptocurrencies, including blockchain casinos that accept BTC, DOGE, and other cryptocurrencies.
