For the Gambler

The plains states have an advantage when it comes to satisfying the gambler's hungry spirit. There are a few destination casinos in the plains.  South Dakota has destination casinos including riverboat casinos.  Kansas has two destination casinos, one in the infamous Dodge City and one in convenient Kansas City.  Oklahoma has numerous destination casinos.  As an amateur gambler that has been to casinos in all three states and a few others as well, I have found that the quote unquote Indian Casinos have a much better payout than the corporate casinos.  If you prefer smaller casinos attached to bingo halls, all three states have those as well.  The Royal River Casino in South Dakota is near the Minnesota border.  The drive there is soothing and scenic and once you arrive you can take advantage of their room deals.  The rooms are clean and comfortable and when you make your reservation you can receive 20 dollars in play and 30 dollars toward food.  The casino offers a variety of games and the buffet has not only typical buffet fare but a pasta station as well.  Oklahoma has a wonderful destination casino right on the border of Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas called Downstream Casino.  In fact the parking lot is in Kansas.  They have a hotel which they are currently adding onto, and a variety of machines, both old and new.  Kansas has an Indian destination casino north of Topeka called Prairieband.  All these casinos have resort qualities like pools, golf courses, and activities other than gambling.  In addition to gambling these casinos are located near other activities as well.  The Royal River Casino is near Pipestone and just north of Sioux Falls where there are numerous activities.  The Downstream Casino is near several rivers where floating is a popular activity and near attractions like Big Brutus and Route 66.  So if you're an amateur or a semi-professional gambler or you just like a smaller, quieter environment the destination casinos or smaller Indian casinos just might be perfect for you.
