Present law provides that it is unlawful for any person under 21 years of age to play casino games,
gaming devices, or slot machines.
Proposed law retains present law.
Present law provides that a person under the age of 21 is not allowed to enter, or be permitted to
enter, the designated gaming area of a riverboat, the official gaming establishment, or the designated
slot machine gaming area of a pari-mutuel wagering facility that offers live horse racing licensed for
operation and regulated under the applicable provisions of present law.
Proposed law retains present law but makes clear that the prohibition of present law applies to the
