Utah has a rep for being the least gambling-friendly state in the country. The answer to that question is: it depends on the state. Utah residents prefer bingo, a game that often leaves people wondering if bingo is considered gambling. Maybe Hawaiians are looking for a change to their current legislation! However, the Hawaiian favorite is slot machines, which can’t be played within the state. There are a few states where gambling is illegal, and the favorites from those states are telling! Hawaii’s state gambling laws only allow for social games, like poker, when played privately. Baccarat and Three Card Draw tied for last place with one state each. In second place are slot machines (13 states), followed by bingo (seven), Five Card Draw (four) and craps (two). Overall when it comes to casino games, online poker - specifically Texas Hold’em - takes the crown with 14 states listing it as their favorite.
