OP's thread should be interesting as it brings up the history of Indian Gaming. From what I've read the roots of Indian Gaming lay in a tax case in the 70's in Minnesota. This Indian couple living on Indian land received a property tax bill from the county. They figured the county had no right to tax them so took it to court. They lost the case and the appeals all the way up until they got to SCOTUS. SCOTUS ruled that not only did the county or state not have the right to tax Indian land, but they also had no right to control activities on Indian land. That led to tribes opening up bingo halls.
Time do do away with the tribal land bullshit.

In the U.K, you can play Lottery at 16 and gamble in Casino at 18.....
Well Pepe was asking about legal age in the mid to late 90's as opposed to current legal age in various areas. The age restriction legislation may have remained constant or it may not have.
ME also. I've not played much bingo in ME. I visited ME once. It was July. I needed a sweatshirt.Quote:

LOL. Missed that 90s thing... I had a fake ID until 1997 so I never figured it out.Quote:

At that time, I would guess he would not have known that you would become an expert double double bonus video poker player.Quote:

Not sure if any of it was legal except for farm kids being allowed to drive. People weren't a bunch of bitches back then. Especially in rural America.
Rest in Peace to the kids of today.

Mickey, not sure that is the correct story. The start of Indian gaming happened in the U.P. of MI with Fred Dakota better known as the Father of Indian Casino Gaming. I have talked with Fred (well mostly just said "hi") when I saw him in the casino. Very interesting character. The first tribal casino also happened in the U.P. with Bay Mills being the first to offer games beside Bingo. Here is Fred's story.Quote:

The tax case made it possible for Fred to do what he did.Quote:

They can keep their businesses, but get rid of the tribal sovereignty bullshit and have them regulated by the gaming commissions in the states they reside in.Quote:

that would make them illegal in some states where they are currently only legal because of the tribal thingQuote:

I recall years ago going to an Indian joint at Lake Chelan in Washington state; my son brought a young lady friend who had ID saying she was eighteen.Quote:

Come to find out the two of them out foxed me: she was much younger (fake ID).

Fake IDs where easy to get into bars/casinos etc 25-30 years ago, now probably a lot harder to succeed.
