Associate publisher’s note: I’m glad so many found this useful over the past few crazy days. We are reaching the point of diminishing returns on the usefulness of updating this map, with too many case-by-case tribal casinos in the states that have not yet closed the majority of their casinos. Look for our next map detailing dates when casinos are expected to open.
Casinos across the country have been closing at an unprecedented rate. Some are closed by choice, some are government orders. Tribal casinos, being sovereign nations, are a tricky situation. Below the map is a changelog, which shows what was changed when the map was last updated.
