Casinos with 18+ gambling age?

Hi. Me and my friends were going to travel to a casino over the summer to gamble. We currently live in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and are all 18-19.

We know of a casino or 2 in California that allow 18+ to gamble there, but was wondering where else there is to gamble?

We might want a closer place, or even a better place, since this will be our first time in a B&M cardroom.

Canturbury Park horse track and race club in minnesota, but that's not really closer i don't think. And soaring eagle in Michigan, but they close their room. I was also wondering if ther were any in the NY/NJ area that allowed 18+ to gamble/play cards, if anyone know's that would be ery helpful.

Turning Stone Casino in Verona, NY is 18+. I've been there, it's nice if you're under 21, but probably a long drive from anywhere included in civilization. Search the archives for details. Also search the archives for something called the Rounders Club in NJ. I know nothing about this, but I hear it's 18+.

But why bother for an 18+ casino, when it's so easy to get into Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun in Connecticut,which are both 21+. I'm 20 but to be honest I barely look 18, and I've had no problem getting into both casinos. Plus you get the added excitement of knowing you're gambling illegally, which is about as much fun as your first beer.

Everyone says that about Fwoods but that was not my experience there. I am 23. I look kind of young but really I don't get carded very often. I was carded like 4 times in one day the last time I was there. If anyone is going to try to get in underage, whatever you do, don't use a fake. You can get in serious legal trouble for that. If you are in there underage they will probably just kick you out--especially if you "have no ID".

Lazy was talking about Rounders. If you want more info on that you can PM me.
I was playing in AC since I was 18 and never carded. I also know 20 year olds that play at the Taj all the time.

Out of curiousity, which California Casinos are 18+? I believe some of the Indian Joints are, but some are 21+ in the Card Rooms, and only permit people under 21 to play Slots, Bingo, etc.
I go to college in the Northern CA (Redding, Chico, Red Bluff) Area, and spend most summers in Southern California (Simi Valley, San Fernando Valley).. so any additional knowledge of 18+ Casinos in/around those areas would be very helpful.

There's an Indian Casino in Sloan, Iowa that is 18+ that I go to. It has 6 poker tables I believe. YOu can almost always get a game there. They have some decent tourneys as well. It is on Interstate 29, about 80 miles north of Omaha, NE and 35 miles south of Sioux City, Iowa.
