Gambling on a zombie apocalypse? The best and worst states to battle the undead

If the onset of October triggers your fear of a zombie apocalypse, casino.org is offering some pseudo-advice for a worst-case scenario.

Odds are there’s only one safe place to be, according to its ranking: the Golden State, California, scores 100 out of 100 on its survivability scale. Texas comes in at a respectable second, at slightly more than 88%. 

One place you wouldn’t want to be? Rhode Island, which at zero out of 100 seems to be the place where all the undead dream to be. “Population density, defensive resources and freshwater accessibility” are just some of the factors it considered when weighing your odds against the vacant-eyed foes.

Overall, the news really isn’t much better for the good ol’ U.S. of A in its entirety: Casino.com figures Americans only have a 31% chance of overcoming the undead as a whole. 

You can take comfort, perhaps, in the fact that the entire survey was done to get you to play one of the site’s zombie-themed games.
