Roll the dice year-round in one of Ruidoso’s three most impressive casinos. In a mountain town jam-packed with adventure, these establishments don’t disappoint.
Whether looking for adult-friendly fun between activities with the family or simply here to try your fortune, we’ve picked out three of the luckiest Ruidoso casinos.
Billy the Kid Casino
With a track that brings in more revenue than the Kentucky Derby, heading here won’t be a gamble! Famous for its friendly staff, premier racing, and over 300 slot machines, Billy the Kid Casino is a guaranteed good time.
Located within the Sacramento Mountains, Billy the Kid’s has the world’s richest quarter horse race. While live racing is over for the 2022 season, it’ll pick up as big as ever in 2023, and you won’t want to miss out!
Visit during the track’s off-season to see why this place continues to be one of the best casinos out there, and check out their Special Events calendar to ensure you stay up to date on their latest promotions and fun-filled festivities.
Casino Apache
Casino Apache is the perfect one-stop gambling shop while on the road to other adventures. This is the ideal place to relax while refueling, featuring a gas station, convenience store, and car wash.
In between grabbing snacks from the convenience store and making your car spotless, check this casino out for a few quick games, including blackjack, video poker, and countless other slot machines.
While this is the perfect stop for an on-the-road adventure, if you’re looking for a more extensive experience, Casino Apache is part of the larger Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort and Casino.
The Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort and Casino
Are you interested in various games, from poker to blackjack and slots? This Ruidoso casino has it all! Check out their poker tournament schedule, or stop by to see what’s happening. Open 24/7 daily; it’s always a good time.
Spread out over 45,000 square feet, the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort and Casino has an endless supply of good times and good eats. Keep your energy up at one of their delicious Ruidoso restaurants, or head to one of their comedy and karaoke lounges for laughs and drinks.
We recommend Wendell’s Steak and Seafood for a more upscale dining service, the Broken Arrow Taphouse for a quick and casual bite, or Club 49 Comedy for $5 shows that begin at 6:30 p.m.
