Pechanga Gambling Age
 
Hi all,
My eighteen year old nephew tells me that the gambling age at Pechanga Indian Casino is eighteen years old. It does not indicate age requirements on their website. Has anyone heard of this?
Thanks.

Some are only 18 but just give them a call to be sure.

The Indian casino in the neighboring town is 18 to gamble. Best give a call to make sure.

In California, it's legal to gamble in an Indian casino from 18.

And it's not really gambling in California, it's just giving your money away. The casinos are not regulated like they are in Nevada, and they do not have to pay back a certain percentage like they do in Nevada.

I would call Penchanga. I think Pala which is nearby, is 21. It does vary, as my brother and his family found aout the hard way once (at Pala).

joesource, I thought it was just my imagination that Indian casinos have bad odds. Another difference is those free drinks are not so easy to get, was servers don't come around very often.

Joesource, you put in writing my take on any casino :)) I always think of them as only money takers and never expect to win.

Just think of it as donating to Indian charities. For Indians who don't need much charity anymore!

According to my son, the Indian casinos where you can gamble at 18 don't have free drinks.

Thant makes logical sense Barbara.
