19 and want to play cards

Eric P · #1 12-08-2003, 03:34 AM

I asked about this a little bit ago. I'm 19 and looking to play in a casino, probably on a trip with family or friends. Does anyone know of casino's with cardrooms, or just cardrooms that have 18 or 19 as the age? I know of canturbury and that will probably have to do but i was looking for an actual casino. Anyone have any recommendations for those in canada? Thanks for the help in advance.

Someone told me california but that's not true, i called commerece and bay 101 and they are both 21+

buy a fake ID.

Please no comments from anyone about how immoral that is... because it's not.

If you get caught using a fake ID you are f'ed...in a lot of states you lose your drivers license, etc... You are much better off going in with no ID, and then if you are asked to leave, you leave. I don't think there's anything wrong with trying to sneak in, but using a fake ID is just dumb.

i indeed did the same thing as a young buck as well, immoral might be a strong word but it is certainly illegal and the two are slightly intertwined.

All of the California Indian Casinos are 18+ and about 1/2 have poker.

Side note:
Funny story about age.
College student from Cal Poly played in a super-super Sattilite at Chumash Casino (near Santa Barbara). One of those rags to riches tourneys with the winner getting a seat at the WSOP. You had to win one of the weekly $100 tourneys, then win the Tournament of Champions for the seat. Well, he's 19. He's allowed to play in the tourney, of course, since the age at Chumash is 18+. Of course, he wins the damn thing but, obviously, can't go to Binion's for the big dance. He end's up with 2nd place money, and the player who finished in 2nd gets to go.

In British Columbia the gambling age is 19 (same for booze). Different casinos in Vancouver have 4-8 holdem, 6-12 Omaha, and 10-20 holdem.

When you say 'actual casino' are you meaning with slots, bj, hotel etc? If so, about a 5 minute drive from Canterbury is Mystic Lake Casino, pretty big casino.
