Of course, US and state gambling laws apply only to land-based and riverboat casino markets. Still, Class II casinos featuring bingo, video lottery terminals (VLTs) and slots-style electronic gaming machines (EGMs) are the top of the heap in several states. Vegas-style casinos – with proper slots and table games. These are mostly of the Class III variety – i.e. Roughly 18-20 states have commercial casinos, but nearly all states with legal gambling houses also have tribal casinos. That said, many others have recently proposed or passed legislation to open casinos within their borders, so that number is growing annually. Right now, 30 or so states have legal physical casinos in operation.
