Casino and gambling information for all states

US Casino Finder tracks gaming, local gambling law, and other information pertaining to gaming and gambling establishments throughout the United States.

Tables games like poker, seven card stud, blackjack and craps are prohibited in West Virginia. On the other hand, slots are alive and well (as is parimutuel betting at The Mountain State's several horse racetracks, dog racetracks, and racinos). The legal gambling age in West Virginia is 18 for parimutuel betting, and can vary from 18 to 21 for casino gaming, depending on the establishment.

Indian Gambling Nationwide

Additionally, there is a National Indian Gaming Commission that exists "to regulate gaming activities on Indian lands for the purpose of shielding Indian tribes from organized crime and other corrupting influences; to ensure that Indian tribes are the primary beneficiaries of gaming revenue; and to assure that gaming is conducted fairly and honestly by both operators and players." The NIGC does not set minimum gambling ages at Indian-owned casinos; rather, it reviews state contracts with the various bands, nations, and tribes to ensure fairness and legality.
