RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 488 (SB 394) 2016 Regular Session Carter
Prior law provided that it is unlawful for any person under 21 years of age to play casino
games, gaming devices, or slot machines. New law retains prior law.
Prior law provided 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 prior law.
New law retains prior law but makes clear that the prohibition of prior law applies to the
entire gaming area of an official gaming establishment, but not to the non-gaming areas of
the establishment.
Effective August 1, 2016.
