Idaho Gambling Laws

Idaho is very strict when it comes to gambling, as its gambling laws clearly reflect. However, there is a fun fact about slot machines and their legality. They were banned by popular vote in 1948, so how can the Idaho casinos still operate and offer slot machines to their visitors? There was a certain law that allowed these Native American casinos in Idaho to offer antique slot machines. The tribal casinos fought the state and won, by saying they were not slot machines, but rather lottery terminals. The state has not bothered them since, so players can enjoy these old, but still fully functioning slot machines.

Idaho gambling laws prohibit all forms of gambling, except:

State Lottery

A state lottery which is authorized by the state if conducted in conformity with enabling legislation.

Pari-Mutuel Betting

Pari-mutuel betting if conducted in conformity with enabling legislation

Bingo & Raffles

History of Idaho Gambling

The Idaho Constitution forbids most forms of gambling. The only exemptions are charitable gaming, horse racing, and the state lottery.

Slot machines were legal between 1947 and 1953. These devices overflowed from Nevada during this era. The state legislature fought back and closed the loophole these devices briefly enjoyed. The games were forced back south into Nevada or were destroyed.

Idaho legalized horse racing in 1963. Off-track betting was added in the 1970’s. Racing revenues dropped after Idaho tribes were permitted to offer slots and video poker. The state legalized historical racing machines in 2013 to help the tracks survive this loss in action. State lawmakers repealed historical racing in 2015.

Greyhound racing was legalized at the same time as horses. The last track closed in 1995. Idaho banned greyhound racing when the last track shuttered. Off-track betting on greyhounds ceased on July 1, 1999.

Mac friendly poker sites. Coeur D’Alene Casino opened a live poker room in 2014. Idaho officials challenged the tribe’s position that poker was legal through the state’s pari-mutuel laws. The state contended that poker was expressly illegal under the state constitution. The state prevailed when the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with it in July 2015. Coeur D’Alene Casino was forced to shut down its poker room in 2015.
