Arizona casinos are located in the "valley of the sun," in the
Southwestern part of the United States. Arizona is known for its
climate and magnificent scenery; from the desert to the
mountains, the landscape is as varied as it is beautiful. The
population of Arizona is over 5,000,000, and the capital and
largest city is Phoenix, with a population of over 1,400,000.
Arizona casinos were legalized on Indian or Native American
reservations in the 1990's, and tribes are given "slot
allotments" for the number of slot machines allowed in each
casino. There are 15 cities, with Arizona casinos, run by
various Indian tribes. The minimum age for gambling at Arizona
casinos is 21, and the majority of these casinos are open for 24
