Montana state currently has the second highest number of casinos in the US. The only state that has more is Nevada. However, this is slightly misleading as the casino landscape in Montana is very different to most other states.

While Nevada is mostly full of mega resort casinos containing hundreds if not thousands of slot machines and table games, Montana’s casino scene is made up of a small number of compact tribal casinos and a huge number of small gaming operations. 

These can be bars, taverns, liquor stores, and lounges that can offer up to 20 video gaming machines per site. So while casino games are widespread and available across Missouri state, they aren’t necessarily offering the same full service casino experience that you might expect.

Montana Land-Based Casino Operators

There are ten tribal casinos in Montana owned by seven federally-recognized tribes. 

However, there are over 150 of the smaller gaming operations that can offer up to 20 games with a max bet of $2 and a maximum win of $800. Many of the operators are small and independent or tribes, however some are chain casinos. 

  • Lucky Lil’s – Has over 45 casinos in Montana – owned by Town Pump Inc
  • Magic Diamond – Has over 17 casinos in Montana – owned by Town Pump Inc
  • Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Reservation– Own three casinos in Montana - Gray Wolf Peak Casino, Big Arm Resort & Casino and the KwaTaqNuk Resort & Casino
  • Blackfeet Tribe of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation of Montana – Own Glacier Peaks Hotel and Casino

Montana Casino Resorts 

If you’re looking for more of a traditional casino experience in Montana, then the tribal casinos offer the best option. Although it has to be said, they still do not provide the size and scale of a Vegas-style casino. Here’s a few you might want to try. 

  • Gray Wolf Peak Casino – Offering the largest casino in Montana, Gray Wolf Peak casino has 34,000 square foot of casino space with 300 slot machines. There’s a sports bar with TV’s to your watch your favorite teams and a variety of bar-games.  There’s also two Foresight Sports golf simulators, a restaurant and a deli. 
  • Glacier Peaks Hotel and Casino – Located 12 miles from Glacier National Park,  Glacier Peaks has around 80 rooms, an indoor swimming pool, fitness center and offers guests complimentary buffet breakfast. The casino has 300 slots and video poker machines, a bingo room, a restaurant, bar and coffee house, plus they offer regular promotions to players. 
  • KwaTaqNuk Resort & Casino – Located on the southern shore of Flathead Lake near Polson, KwaTaqNuk resort has 107 hotel rooms and two restaurants. The casino has 250 slots and video poker machines plus lots of player promotions. 

More Than Gambling

Montana is a stunning place to visit for its wide-open spaces and mountainous landscape and there’s plenty of adventure to be had outside of the casinos.

  • Natural Wonders  – Glacier National Park, Yellowstone  National Park, Flathead Lake and Big Sky Resort & Whitefish Mountain Resort are just a few places you can go to enjoy the sights and enjoy some outdoor activities such as hiking, boating, fishing, ziplining and mountain biking.
  • Wildlife Watching – See bison, elk, deer, bears, and eagles in the protected area of the National Bison Range or get up close to grizzlies and wolves at the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center. 
  • Scenic Drives – Beartooth Highway is often called “the most beautiful drive in America” as it winds through high-altitude switchbacks with breathtaking mountain views. Alternatively you can follow the route of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark in their 1804-1806 expedition of Missouri River Country
  • Fun Days Out – From hot springs resorts, to ghost towns, to dinosaur museums, historic battlefields and art galleries, Montana has it all.

Important Considerations

The minimum age to gamble in Montana casinos is 18 years old but some casinos might have their own age limits. It is always worth checking ahead and it’s advisable to bring photographic ID with you on entry. 

Unlike Las Vegas, Montana casinos do not serve complimentary alcohol to gamblers as it is against state regulations.
