Alabama, or the Yellowhammer State as it is sometimes known, is located in the South Eastern region of the US, and it's fair to say that it's not known for its casinos.

Bordered by Tennessee to the north, Georgia to the east, Florida to the south, and Mississippi to the west, Alabama is considered part of the Deep South or ‘Bible Belt’ region with a largely conservative political standpoint.

When it comes to gambling, Alabama is more restrictive that many other US states. At the time of writing, sports betting is illegal, there is no state lottery and attempts to loosen gambling legislation have so far been rejected. 

However, there are some casinos on tribal land that do offer exciting gambling options for Alabama players.  So, let’s take a look at what and where you can play in Alabama.

Alabama Land-Based Casino Operators

Due to the gambling restrictions within Alabama, the only land-based casinos you can visit in state are on tribal land. Tribal land has its own sovereignty so these casinos operate under federal tribal gaming laws rather than state regulations.

The Poarch Band of Creek Indians are based in Southern Alabama and run three casinos:

• Wind Creek, Atmore
• Wind Creek, Montgomery
• Wind Creek Wetumpka

Even within these casinos, there are limitations on the type of games that can be offered. Vegas-style slots games that work off Random Number Generators (RGN), otherwise known as Class III machines are not allowed, neither are traditional table games such as roulette and blackjack.

However, electronic bingo machines or Class II machines are allowed. These look and feel exactly like a slot machine but use a bingo-style mechanism to determine winners and losers. Many casino goers don’t even notice the difference so it doesn’t affect the player experience.

Alabama Casino Resorts 

The top three casino resorts in Alabama are owned by Wind Creek Hospitality which is owned by Poarch Band of Creek Indians. Let’s take a quick look at those in more detail.

• Wind Creek Atmore – A luxury hotel, casino, spa and entertainment venue with something for everyone. The casino has 1,700 electronic bingo machines, monthly promotions and a rewards program for regular players.  You can also enjoy an infinity pool, spa, bowling alley, theatre and several dining options.
• Wind Creek, Montgomery – An AAA Four-Diamond hotel on the Gulf Coast with a casino, seasonal outdoor pool, fitness center and various dining options. The casino has 2,200 electronic bingo machines including Geckos Gone Wild, Monkey in the Bank and So Hot and boasts that it has the highest payouts in the Southeast.
• Wind Creek Wetumpka – A hotel with a casino, spa, pool and entertainment center located on the banks of the Coosa River. With 2,000 electronic bingo machines, including Bells Gone Wild and Cherries on Fire, the casino has regular promotions and new players get up to $100 when joining the rewards club.

More Than Gambling

Alabama has a lot more to it than just gambling, so let’s take a look at what else you might want to experience while you’re in state.

• Civil Rights landmarks – Alabama was a key state in the civil rights movement and you can visit landmarks such as the Rosa Parks Museum and the Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, and the Birmingham Civil Rights Museum in Birmingham
• Gulf Coast – Gulf Shores and Orange Beach are ideal for enjoying white-sand beaches, water sports, fishing charters, hiking, boating  and sight-seeing. Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo is also ideal for families. 
• Sports – Enjoy the Alabama college football culture by going to see the University of Alabama Crimson Tide or Auburn University Tigers in action. Alternatively, Talladega Superspeedway is one of the most famous NASCAR tracks in the world. If you’re feeling active yourself, then you can hike the Cheaha State Park which is the highest point in Alabama.
• Cuisine  – You can’t go to Alabama without sampling some good-old barbequed southern food like pulled pork and ribs. You can also add the state’s famous white sauce and don’t forget some fried green tomatoes as a side dish too. 

Important Considerations

Players must be 21 years or over to gamble in Alabama casinos so always remember to bring along photographic ID to gain entry.
