Your 18 y/o will not be allowed to sit at any bar (even with parents), will not be allowed to go to any lounge/piano bar or stop near any slot machines/table game. Most casino's are pretty attentive to the under 21 requirements. In most states you have to be either 18 or 21 to gamble for real money. Today there are 22 states where 18-year olds can legally gamble and 35 which only allow 21+. However, it can also vary. At first glance it seems online slot machines are a 100% game of chance. And they really are, at least in the terms of a single game round. However, that doesn’t mean that you can’t influence your chances by using the right betting strategy and choosing the right game to play.
