Biggest casino in the us

In a country with over a thousand casinos, and tens of billions in annual gaming revenue, ten resorts stand tall as the biggest casinos in the United States.

Here, we’re counting square footage devoted to gambling. Some resorts have large meeting rooms, arenas and shopping districts, however that space doesn’t count in the rankings. We’re only ranking these in terms of actual, casino floor space.

That being the case, the largest casino in the U.S. is the WinStar World Casino Resort in Thackerville, Oklahoma.

Second on the list of top ten largest casinos in the U.S. is the giant Foxwoods Resort complex in southeast Connecticut, with , square feet of casino space, 4, slot machines, and table games (including poker tables).

Interestingly, at least to me, the four largest casinos in the United States are either in Oklahoma or Connecticut. Four of the ten are in the Sooner State.

Here’s a list of the biggest casinos in the United States, (by floor space dedicated to gambling space, and not overall size of the hotel and resort).

1. Winstar World Casino and Resort &#; Thackerville, Oklahoma. , square feet.
2. Foxwoods Resort Casino &#; Mashantucket, Connecticut. , square feet.
3. Choctaw Casino Resort &#; Durant, Oklahoma. , square feet.
4. Mohegan Sun &#; Uncasville, Connecticut. , square feet.
5. Yaamava Resort & Casino &#; Highland, California. , square feet.
6. Thunder Valley Casino Resort &#; Lincoln, California. , square feet.
7. Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa &#; Tampa Bay, Florida. , square feet.
8. Riverwind Casino &#; Norman, Oklahoma. , square feet.
9. (Tie) Encore Boston Harbor &#; Boston, Massachusetts & Soaring Eagle Casino Resort &#; Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. Both , square feet.
10. River Spirit Casino Resort &#; Tulsa. , square feet.

More specific information about each casino can be found further below.

Please note that I’ve spent hours trying to find a definitive top ten list, however many Indian casinos do not publish, (or maybe do not know?) their gaming square footage. Unlike commercial casinos in Nevada, where gaming floor space size is a matter of public record, there is less transparency with Indian casinos.

Very large casinos that may normally make the list have been omitted in cases where I could not reasonably verify the square footage of actual gaming space and/or slot machine count.

Other Biggest Casinos in the United States

If a large casino is not listed here, it’s because we were unable to find data on either their size or slot-machine count. If you happen to know, it, please let me know. Thank you.
