A Casino is a gambling establishment where customers gamble by playing games of chance. Casinos can offer a wide variety of games, from classic table games like poker and blackjack to more modern slot machines and video gambling machines. In addition to gaming, some casinos have restaurants and bars, entertainment venues and even hotel rooms. Casinos are often heavily guarded to protect their customers and assets from theft. This security is typically divided between a physical security force and a specialized surveillance department.

In the United States, the largest land-based casino is Winstar World Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma. This tiny town is a little bigger than Woody Guthrie’s hometown of Waurika, and boasts the title of “Biggest Casino in America.” But if you only look at floor space, Vegas still holds the top spot, thanks to a massive casino complex that contains over 2,000 slot machines and over 1,000 tables.

While most people think that Las Vegas is the biggest casino, it’s actually Connecticut’s Foxwoods Resort Casino that takes the cake when it comes to palatial gambling venues. It’s home to more than 400 tables, more than 2,300 slot machines and a cavernous bingo hall, making it one of the most decadent places on earth to throw your chips down and see what fate has in store for you.
