minimum age in casinos

[LinniePooh]

Does anyone know the laws concerning teenagers in casinos? We are not gamblers, but would like to just tour around a little and possibly play a few slot machines for fun. I'm certain our 16 year old would not be allowed to gamble, but would she even be allowed to enter the casino with us for a few minutes?

I am not an expert on USA Casino's rules, but as this is posted on the DCL Site I presume you mean on the Ships.

As far as I am aware DCL doesnt have any casions on its ships, I think all of the other lines do, DCL make more money in the Disney shops!

(Sorry didn't think about the ports of call)

To even be in the casino area (not just walking through) you have to be 18. It is my understanding that they are very strict about this. To gamble you need to be 18. I called to make sure because my son is 18.

USA laws for gambling are 21. In Nassau at Atlantis it is 18.

You will be able to "walk through" the casino with an underage child, since the walkways usually aren't considered casino space. But, if you stop to even put a quarter into a machine, you'll be asked to leave since you're with somebody underage.

They won't actually ask you to "leave". They will ask you to keep moving. Children and anyone under 18 are permitted to walk through the casinos but they can not stand with you while you are playing the machines or tables.

Thank you! That is all very helpful information for making our plans for the day in Nassau.
