In Iowa, there is a relaxed attitude toward gambling law and one might even say the act of gambling is a cultural legacy here. At the moment of writing, Iowa is home to 21 casinos and the industry makes $18 billion in revenue.

Home to some of the country’s best gambling halls, you will definitely have plenty of options if you plan on a night of gambling in the beautiful state. This no matter whether you are gambling as a way to relax, or to have a really fun night out with your friends.

But how should you plan your night to get the most out of Iowa’s night- and gambling life? Let us guide you.
