How we choose the casinos in each state and city
How Mi Casino USA's editors choose the casinos in each state and city guide: each state's gaming rules, current details, standing with guests and amenities.
A list of casinos is only useful if it reflects the place it describes. A tribal gaming hall in rural Oklahoma and a resort on the Las Vegas Strip are very different outings, and the rules that govern them differ too. So we build every state and city guide around what is actually available there, and around the practical questions a sensible adult asks before setting out.
Learning each state's gaming map
Before we list anything, we look at what the state permits: commercial casinos, tribal gaming, racetrack casinos, riverboats or card rooms. That tells us which kinds of venues belong in a city's list and what a visitor can reasonably expect to find there, from full table games to slot machines only.
Confirming the venue is open
We check that each casino is operating at the address shown, with a working phone number, website and current opening hours. Seasonal venues, temporary closures and properties under renovation are noted or held back until they reopen, and a casino that has shut its doors is removed.
Weighing its standing with guests
We look at how a venue has been regarded by visitors over a long period rather than after one busy weekend. Consistent remarks about cleanliness, courteous and professional staff, security and well-kept facilities count for far more with us than any advertised jackpot or promotion.
Looking past the gaming floor
Many people visit a casino for its restaurants, hotel rooms, concerts or golf course as much as for the games. We describe what each property offers beyond gaming, along with practical details such as parking, accessibility and how far it sits from the nearest town.
Keeping responsibility in the frame
Our lists describe places; they do not sell gambling. We publish no odds, bonuses, promotions or betting advice, we remind readers of age limits wherever they apply, and we point anyone who is struggling toward free, confidential support rather than toward the tables.
When something changes
Gaming laws evolve, tribal nations open new properties and older casinos rebrand or close. We revisit each state regularly, but readers often spot changes first. If you find an outdated detail or a venue we have missed, write to info@micasinousa.com with the casino's name, city and state, and we will look into it.
