Relevant Legal Statutes on Gambling in Maine*

The minimum legal gambling age in Maine depends upon the gambling activity:

  • Land-Based Casinos: 21
  • Poker Rooms: 21
  • Bingo: 16
  • Lottery: 18
  • Pari-Mutuel Wagering: 18

In 2003, Maine offered a referendum to its voters to approve slot machines at racetracks. The residents of Bangor approved it, but residents of the city of Scarborough did not. To this day, the racetrack in Scarborough still does not offer slot machines.

In 2010, voters in the town of Oxford approved slot machines for their casino. The next year, the casino in the city of Bangor approved table games.

Maine’s legal rights with regards to tribal gaming are unusual relative to other states. The application of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 does not apply due to the prior Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act of 1980. Therefore, gaming on tribal land in Maine is subject to state law rather than the federal IGRA.
