WinStar Casino Resort, Oklahoma

Gaming machines: 7400
Table and poker games: 145
Hotel rooms: 1495

Our runner up is the enormous Winstar Casino Resort in Oklahoma, covering 519,000 square foot. This monster currently holds the record for most slot machines in one casino with 7400 games to play. Bizarrely, the Winstar is based in the small rural community of Thackerville, home to just 465 residents, a far cry from the bustling metropolis of Vegas or even Atlantic City.

Try 4 unique gaming areas containing a total 3400 game machines and over 800 tables. The entire complex itself is also, as you can imagine, fairly sizeable with enough space to park nearly 100 Boeing 747 planes! Still not impressed? Well how about the fact this giant features a Venetian Canal running throughout its interior, complete with singing Gondoliers! Now that is what we call a casino.
