7th Street Casino is a tribal casino owned and operated by the Wyandotte Nation, in downtown Kansas City, Kansas. It occupies the former Scottish Rite Temple on North 7th Street Trafficway, a few minutes from the Missouri state line. It rates 3.7 from around 4,000 Google reviewers.
It is an unusual building for a casino: a historic temple converted into three floors of gaming. It is small and slots-focused, and people visit for the convenience of downtown, not for resort amenities.
What's on the floor
Nearly 600 slot machines across more than 20,000 square feet, spread over three floors. Video poker is part of the mix.
There are no live table games, no poker room and no bingo hall, and no sportsbook on site as of our research. If blackjack, craps or a poker seat is the point of your trip, Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway across town is the nearby option with live tables.
The multi-floor layout means you move between levels to find different machines. It feels busier and more compact than one big open floor, which some people like and others find cramped.
Dining
The Casino Café serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks daily, and there is bar service on site. Earlier in the casino's history there was a steakhouse, but the café is the current dining option.
For a proper meal, you are in a downtown area, and the casino points visitors to nearby restaurants rather than trying to compete with them.
Getting there and parking
There is no on-site hotel. The casino offers validated parking at partner lots and a free shuttle, and its Lucky 7 Club members get parking validation at every tier. Because there is no large dedicated surface lot, ask about parking when you arrive.
The Missouri-side casinos and the River Market are a short drive across the river, which makes 7th Street an easy add-on to a night in Kansas City.
A brief history
The Wyandotte Nation first opened a gaming site at this location in 2003, in temporary buildings. After a long dispute with the state, the renovated temple, which had cost about $20 million to convert, opened as the permanent casino in January 2008. The floor has been slots-only since then. If table games or a sportsbook matter to you, check for updates before you visit.
