California comes in second place behind Nevada in having the largest number of casinos in the United States. Players have a choice of over 165 casinos, with or without resorts, in 125 different locations within the state. The casinos differ a little from the ones in Las Vegas, in that most California casinos are located in sparsely populated areas and are run by Native American Indians.
