Apr 12, 2011 card rooms are 18 up. They don't have slots, but you can still go in and gamble. Just look for a strictly card room in your area. Beware though, most card rooms are legit and legally run, but they aren't as regulated as true casinos therefore they can get away with some shady house rules and other shady dealings. Overall they are enjoyable as most do have poker tables where the house doesn.

CARD ROOM CASINOS IN WASHINGTON
Card rooms have been legal in Washington since 1974. Initially limited to just five tables per location, the law was changed in 1996 to allow up to 15 tables. One year later, a provision was added to allow house-banked games. Permissible games include: blackjack, Caribbean stud poker, pai gow poker, let it ride, casino war and numerous other card games. Baccarat, craps, roulette and keno are not allowed.
The maximum bet at each card room is dependent on certain licensing requirements and is capped at either $25 or $100. Additionally, the rooms can be open no more than 20 hours per day. These card rooms are now commonly called “mini-casinos.” The minimum gambling age in a card room is 18.
Each city and county has the option to ban the card rooms so they are not found in every major city (Seattle has none). Due to space limitations we don’t list all of the Washington card rooms in this book.
For a list of card rooms, we suggest that you contact the Washington State Gambling Commission at (360) 486-3581, or visit their website at: www.wsgc.wa.gov
