If security did not check her for an ID, and she was never told, could she not just claim ignorance and say that she believed it was an 18+ casino?
[/ QUOTE ] Mississippi gaming law states that anyone under the age of 21 caught gaming, MUST be arrested. No questions asked. If your under 21 and don't have I.D. your just asked to leave. (They can't prove your under 21) If she made it to the table and placed a bet before they found out she was under 21 it would be out of my hands. It's also clearly marked that you must be 21 when you walk in. [ QUOTE ]
Would you seriously arrest her?
[/ QUOTE ] Not up to me. I'm not security or gaming. On a personal note I feel like gaming is for those 21 and over. It makes me sick to even see people bring kids to the buffet. A casino is adult entertainment and no place for kids. I love the game of poker and its great that T.V. has brought a whole new generation into the game. For those that are under 21? If you can find a legal place to play thats great but most casinos are 21 and over and I strongly support it staying that way. The vast majority of under 21 year olds don't have earning potential to sustain any kind of loss. This can lead to big problems down the road, credit for example. The legal age was set for a reason.
