The state has entered into compacts allowing tribes to open casinos with gaming terminals that are technically video lottery terminals and electronic bingo games, but play like slot machines. The federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act grandfathered-in one tribe’s true slot machines,
Lottery: Revised Code of Washington §67.70.120 prohibits sales to anyone under 18. This does not prohibit gifts by adults to minors.
Casinos and slots: Besides Indian casinos, Washington allows cardrooms, where poker and casino-style banked blackjack are played. Revised Code of Washington §9.46.0305 prevents minors from wagering.
Bingo and pull-tabs: The state Gaming Commission has issued rules prohibiting anyone under 18 from making wagers, with exceptions for bingo, such as children can play bingo “at agricultural fairs or school carnivals” and “in licensed bingo games if accompanied by an adult member of his/her immediate family or guardian¼” Washington Administrative Code §230-12-027. The regulation has the unique provision: “All bingo advertisements that are directed to minors shall include language indicating that all minors must be accompanied by a member of their immediate family or guardian, who is at least 18 years old.”
