Indian Casinos

These casinos, also known as Tribal casinos, are usually located on federally recognized Indian reservations. They range in size from small truck stops and convenience stores with a handful of machines like many located in Oklahoma or Wisconsin, up to some of the largest casinos in the world such as Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut.

Also depending on the agreement reached with the state where the indian casinos are located, they can offer either Class II gaming or Class III gaming. Class III (Class 3) gaming is what most people would describe as “normal” casino gaming. This is kind of casino gambling you would find at a majority of casinos in the country like Las Vegas where it is the player against “the house” such as blackjack, craps, roulette, or any other table game, as well as slot machines.

Class II (Class 2) gaming on the other hand is slightly different. These are games where it is players competing against other players such as poker or bingo. Over the years, casinos have found ways around this to offer other casino games that play similarly to Class III games but still adhere to Class II rules. A great example of this are Class II slot machines that closely resemble a normal, Class III machine but you will notice a small bingo card in the corner of the screen. So, in essence, you are actually playing a speeded-up game of virtual bingo against other players in the casino. The reels still spin and you will see winning combinations if you win. However, the reels are “for entertainment purposes only” and whether or not you win on each spin is based entirely on the bingo card located in the corner.

Another example of Class II games would be player-banked table games where you are competing against other players rather than against the casino itself. These look identical to traditional table games and the only difference is that players have to pay an ante of around $0.50-$1 per hand. This is because in most cases there is someone who supplies the money to be the “bank” and the only money the casino receives is the ante made by each player.

Pari-Mutuel Casinos

Some states such as Arkansas or Delaware only allow casinos in pari-mutuel facilities. These are locations with legalized wagering on several different kinds of horse or dog racing or, in Florida, jai-alai games. Since a vast majority of pari-mutuel facilities in the United States are racetracks, these types of casinos are often also known as “racinos,” a combination of the words racetrack and casino.

Other than having legal betting on horse racing, dog racing or jai-alai on property, these casinos are almost identical to other land-based casinos like those in Las Vegas or Atlantic City. However, depending on the laws of the states where they are located, some may not offer live table games, or may only have slot machines.

A somewhat new development at pari-mutuel facilities in some states like Kentucky where traditional casino gambling is not legal is something called “historical racing machines.” These are considered Class II machines similar to the bingo-based machines at many Indian casinos but instead of being based off of a bingo card, the results of these games are based on racing results from previous horse races.

Land-Based Casinos

These are the regular casinos that people think of when they think of a casino. This would be like the casinos in Las Vegas or Atlantic City. Casino gambling was legalized in Nevada in 1931 and it was the only state to offer that type of gambling until 1977 when New Jersey legalized casinos for its seaside resort town of Atlantic City. It is these land-based, stand-alone, casinos that were the original forms until riverboat and Indian casinos came along in the 1990’s.

Riverboat Casinos

Riverboat casinos are exactly what they sound like, they are casinos located inside boats that are in rivers. They are located in many states through out the South and Midwest such as Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri and Mississippi. However, they have evolved over the years as the laws regulating them have been relaxed. Originally, they were required to leave the dock and go on a cruise for several hours then come back and dock and they would do that several times throughout the day. Originally, some states even required the casinos to enact loss limits during these cruises.

How Casino Slot Machines Work

Eventually the loss limits were lifted, as were the requirements for them to cruise, so they began operating while docked on the river. Some states later allowed the casinos to be built on barges that float in man-made lagoons that are fed from the rivers. That is where most of the states are now, but some such as Mississippi have also allowed their “riverboat” casinos to be built on land, but they are still required to be built within a certain distance of the water
