Those on the east side of the state are within a couple of hours of one of the Harrah’s casinos in North Carolina. Players looking for casino action on the west side of the state will need to go to Tunica, MS. It was the 48 th state to legalize some form of gambling when voters approved a constitutional amendment to create a lottery in November 2002. There are, however, many event centers that will provide transport to casinos within nearby states. That is the only other form of gambling if you can call it that.
Charities may not hold bingo games but may spread low limit raffles for prizes but not cash. There are no Tennessee casinos or gambling other than the state lottery.
