List of Casinos in Utah

Again, there are no casinos in Utah. However, Utah has several bingo halls in Salt Lake City, Huntsville, Kearns, Ogden, and Riverdale. Some bingo facilities have electronic gaming machines offering video bingo.

After legally challenged with offering illegal gambling for charging a fee for providing bingo along with a dinner, the bingo facilities responded that the paid dinner in question was optional. The courts later ruled that it is not gambling if the bingo cards are free of charge with no obligation to pay for dinner.

It is also perhaps worth mentioning that there are also rumors of illegal poker rooms available within the state of Utah, even high limit poker game rooms.
