Arizona may still be developing its online gambling industry, but it already has a thriving retail casino collection with 24 tribal casinos dotted throughout Arizona. At these Arizona casinos, you can find a wide range of slot machines, table games, and even live poker rooms.
Let’s take a closer look at the retail casinos in Arizona.
Is Online Gambling And Sports Betting Legal In Arizona?
Although HB 2772 legalized mobile sports betting in Arizona, online gambling is still broadly illegal in that you can’t play poker or engage with classic casino games through online interfaces. One thing this legislation did include for casinos, however, was a provision to expand the tribal casino limit in this state, allowing local Native American tribes to build more retail casinos in the future.
For the time being, there is no word on legislative momentum for online casinos for online poker platforms. For now, Arizona residents are limited to social casinos like Chumba Casino and Global Poker if they want to enjoy these activities from the comfort of their couches instead of visiting one of the two dozen Native American casinos.
