I've only been to a casino once, and my experience was not great. My wife and I spent 20 minutes at such an establishment in Bowling Green, Kentucky, last year, and it was the fastest I ever saw our money disappear. It's safe to say I'm not the luckiest guy on the block, but that probably won't stop me from trying to redeem myself in the near future. In fact, there is one casino in Indiana that I now have on my bucket list, as it's considered the second friendliest casino in the entire United States.

The Friendliest Casino in America

Online United States Casinos has compiled a list of the top 10 friendliest casinos in the U.S. Before revealing the Hoosier casino that earned the No. 2 spot, let's first highlight the top-ranked venue. The friendliest casino in America is Horseshoe Casino Baltimore, located near downtown Baltimore, Maryland. Out of 24,158 reviews, 74% are positive, with around 1,000 specifically praising the helpfulness of the staff. The 122,000-square-foot gaming floor offers a wide range of gaming options, with a strong emphasis on slots; however, poker and table games are also available.

The 2nd Friendliest Casino in America

If you're traveling through Indiana and looking to roll the dice in a friendly atmosphere, I've got just the place for you. According to Online United States Casinos, the second friendliest gaming location in America is Horseshoe Hammond Casino. (I'm sensing a trend here.) Of the 15,744 reviews for this location, 84% are positive, with 840 of those reviews giving a 4 or 5-star rating for the staff. This casino stands out for its spacious three-story layout, along with its proximity to Chicago.

Friendly service at any establishment is always nice, but it seems to be something I see less and less these days. Luckily, you’ve got options when it comes to friendly places to gamble in America. You can see Online United States Casinos' full list of friendly casinos below:
