Joe Rogan Experience #2535 - Andrew Wilson · Aired Aug 5, 2026
Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
A 2015 report stated that Oklahoma has the most gaming machines of any U.S. state.
The finding
What the evidence shows
The American Gaming Association's 2016 State of the States report, with machine counts as of December 31, 2015, does not rank Oklahoma first overall. Nevada leads by far with about 181,000 machines, and Oklahoma is second with about 72,600. Oklahoma does have the most machines in tribal casinos, about 71,600 against California's 69,700. A 2015 report ranking Oklahoma first in total machines across all U.S. states would flip this verdict.

Quick answer
Is it true that a 2015 report stated that Oklahoma has the most gaming machines of any U.S. state?
Partly. The claim stretches what the evidence shows. The American Gaming Association's 2016 State of the States report, with machine counts as of December 31, 2015, does not rank Oklahoma first overall. Nevada leads by far with about 181,000 machines, and Oklahoma is second with about 72,600.
