The Biggest Casinos in Texas
The Lone Star state has plenty of unique leisure attractions, from hosting the nation's F1 race to the historic Alamo. It must be said that Texas is not the most pro-betting state in the world, with only a couple of Indian reservation sites where you can play, so there's still some way to go until Texas can match European and Canadian territories for casinos. That said, the state does have a handful of places where you can play cards, bingo, and slots, with the biggest casinos in Texas detailed below.
Kickapoo Lucky Eagle Casino Hotel
There's a limited number of betting destinations in Texas for players to visit and indulge in the thrill of wagering on classic table games and the latest slot machines, but when it comes to size there's one clear winner: the Kickapoo Lucky Eagle Casino Hotel.
Contrary to what the silver screen might lead you to believe, the main attractions at casinos both real-world and online today are the slot machines, and on this front visitors to the Lucky Eagle are spoilt for choice. There are more than 3,300 slot machines from which to choose with popular favorites including Wheel of Fortune, Michael Jackson King of Pop, Fort Knox, 1,000,000 Degrees, Mr. Money Bags, La Loteria, So Hot, The Hangover, and many, many more.
Card sharks have a lot to enjoy as well, with live-action poker games hosted daily and numerous Texas Hold 'Em tournaments for those in it for the long haul. Bingo's a rising trend at casinos these days, and players visiting Lucky Eagle have daily games from Wednesday to Sunday, plus minis which start an hour or two ahead of the main event. And there's free bingo if it's your birthday.
All that betting can work up an appetite, and if hunger's biting there's a dazzling array of culinary styles with which you can satisfy your stomach, including pizza, Asian fare, burgers, and more.
Naskila Gaming
Located in the east of Texas, Naskila Gaming boasts 793 electronic games, at the time of writing, making it one of the biggest casinos in Texas. The betting center brings much needed excitement, jobs, and income for the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas, and is located on the oldest tribal reservation in the country.
There are a large number of bingo slots housed within the casino for players. From classic video game nostalgia with Pac-Man to country music legend Willie Nelson Shotgun Willie, there's a great variety of games. You can walk on the wild side with Double Wolf or see if you strike it rich with Nugget Fever.
Once the gaming is done players can celebrate splashing their winnings on meals including grilled meat treats, Mexican favorites, pizzas, salads, and more besides.
It should be noted that there are no table games at Naskila Gaming, but there is an extensive selection of slots to enjoy.
Formerly Floating Casinos
It's fair to say that some other states do have rather more brick-and-mortar betting establishments where players can unwind. There were once greater numbers in Texas, of the floating variety. Luxurious casino boats may one day return to the state, but it remains to be seen whether betting legislation will be liberalized in the near future.
The US generally has been more puritanical on betting regulation than most comparable countries, but this is slowly easing up, so perhaps in the future there will be more entries on the list of largest casinos in Texas. Or you can pop across the border to Oklahoma and visit the WinStar World Casino and Resort.
