All the Casinos in Arizona: the Tribal Casino Map, the Full List and How Many There Are
Twenty-seven Class III floors, sixteen sovereign nations, one compact framework. This page plots all of them, sorts them by distance from wherever you are starting, and says plainly where the published numbers disagree with each other.

The Arizona casinos map, and how to read it
Every venue plotted from its published street address. Filter by region or by the nation that operates it, then reorder the whole list by distance from your city.

No casino matches both of those filters. The nations are tied to their own land, so a nation and a region that do not overlap will always come back empty — clear one of the two.
Showing all 27 Class III casinos. Distances are straight-line miles from the selected city, not drive time. Roster: Arizona Indian Gaming Association roster, as of 1 September 2026.
Most versions of an arizona casinos map are either a static picture or a pin drop with no detail attached. This one is built from the roster itself, so the casinos in arizona map above and the list further down can never drift apart — they are the same 27 records rendered twice. Coordinates come from the venues’ published addresses; where an address resolves only to a locality rather than a doorway, the pin is placed on the venue and the record says so.
A caution the pin count cannot express: straight-line distance is not drive time. The eastern and northern venues sit behind mountain passes, and a floor 60 miles out on the arizona casinos map can be a longer drive than one 90 miles down an interstate. Treat the ordering as a shortlist, not an itinerary.
One more thing a casinos in arizona map cannot show is ownership, and ownership is what actually predicts how two floors will differ. Filtering by nation rather than by pin is usually the more informative move, because venues sharing an operator share a gaming office, a compact and a rulebook.
The count
How many casinos are in Arizona?
A question with a surprisingly unstable answer, and a good illustration of why sourcing matters more than confidence.
Sixteen nations operate 27 Class III casinos in Arizona, according to the Arizona Indian Gaming Association roster as of 1 September 2026. Published totals elsewhere range from 22 to 28.
Ask how many casinos are in arizona and you will get a different number from almost every source. The reason is not carelessness so much as counting rules. Some totals fold the Desert Diamond satellite floors at Why and Waddell into the parent operation and report three Tohono O’odham venues instead of five. Some predate the White Tanks opening in December 2024. Some quietly include Class II bingo operations that are not Class III casinos at all, and some quote a compact-era figure that has not been revisited in a decade.
There is a further wrinkle worth naming, because it affects the association’s own page: the AIGA roster enumerates 27 venues while the sentence introducing it still reads 26. Both appear on the same page. When a body that close to the industry carries an internal mismatch, a flat assertion from anyone further away deserves scepticism. That is why the count here always travels with the roster name and the date it was read, and why the answer to how many casinos are in arizona is given as an enumerated list rather than a single confident number.

By operator
Every tribal casino in Arizona, nation by nation
The operating nation is the single most useful fact about an Arizona venue and the one almost no directory records.
Sorting the indian casinos in arizona by the nation that runs them explains patterns that a pin map hides. Grouped this way the indian casinos in arizona stop looking like a scattered market and start looking like what they are: sixteen sovereign operators, each on its own land. The Gila River Indian Community’s four floors ring the south-east Valley because that is where its land is. The Tohono O’odham Nation’s five run from Tucson out to Why because the nation’s territory does. Clusters on the map are not market decisions; they are the shape of sovereign land.

Each nation runs its own gaming office with real authority over its floors, which is why house rules, poker availability and opening hours differ between venues that look identical from outside. The nations overview sets out who regulates what.

The complete list of casinos in Arizona
All 27 Class III venues in one place, alphabetically, each linking to its own record.
A list of casinos in arizona is only as good as the date on it. This one is generated from the roster record rather than typed by hand, so every entry below carries the same address and nation as its own page and the map above. Where a venue’s published details are thin — the two smallest Desert Diamond floors are the clearest example — the record says “not published” rather than filling the gap with a guess.

Common questions
Questions about the Arizona casino map
How many casinos are in Arizona?
The Arizona Indian Gaming Association lists 27 Class III venues run by 16 nations. Its own summary line still says 26, written before Desert Diamond White Tanks opened in December 2024. Other published counts range from 22 to 28 because some sources merge the smaller satellite floors into their parent operation and others were simply never updated. The figure used here is tied to a named roster and a date so it can be checked.
Are all casinos in Arizona on tribal land?
Yes, every casino floor in the state sits on tribal land and operates under a compact between a nation and the State of Arizona. There is no commercial, non-tribal casino anywhere in Arizona. Pari-mutuel racing and the state lottery run separately and are not casinos.
Which Arizona casino is closest to Phoenix?
Casino Arizona in Scottsdale and Talking Stick Resort, also in Scottsdale, are the closest floors to central Phoenix — both a short drive from the eastern edge of the city. Ten of the state’s casinos sit inside the wider Phoenix metropolitan area, more than any other region. The finder above sorts every venue by straight-line distance from the city you pick.
Which nation operates the most casinos in Arizona?
The Tohono O’odham Nation, with five: the Desert Diamond venues in Tucson, Sahuarita, Glendale, Waddell and Why. The Gila River Indian Community follows with four — Wild Horse Pass, Lone Butte, Vee Quiva and Santan Mountain. The remaining fourteen nations operate one or two each.
Can you find out how much a particular Arizona casino takes?
Not individually. The compacts require contributions to the state rather than public per-casino accounts, so what is published is the aggregate quarterly contribution figure, not the take at any one venue. Anyone quoting revenue for a specific Arizona casino is estimating. Where the money goes covers what the public record does contain.
