Kansas City Casinos
Cha-ching! A look at Kansas City’s Casino Scene
Well, Free Bet Blackjack does exactly what it says: a chance to play on someone else’s money! While you will still need to put up your own cash for the initial wager, you’ll get to make double-downs and splits for free, increasing your potential wins. Using this adage, the Kansas City casinos should have the worst blackjack in the country. Although the Kansas City blackjack games have mediocre rules and penetration, the games are more attractive when taking into account the fact that a more aggressive bet spread can be used due to the lack of heat. Casino You’ll find finer winning at Argosy Casino in Kansas City, including over 1,500 slots, your favorite table games such as blackjack, roulette and craps, plus weekly promotions that help elevate your winning.
It doesn’t take Lady Luck to find a good time among Kansas City’s multiple casino options. All but two of KC’s six gambling establishments are riverboat casinos, hence the locally coined nickname “the boats.” Expect your fair share of Vegas-style embellishments—including fabulous dining and national entertainers—yet with the welcome addition of KC’s good ol’ fashioned Midwest hospitality. Feeling lucky? We’ll meet you at the boats!
