Relevant Legal Statutes on Gambling in Alaska*

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

  • Land-Based Casinos: 21
  • Poker Rooms: Not available
  • Bingo: 19
  • Lottery: Not available
  • Pari-Mutuel Wagering: Not available

In 1960, the state legislature established a law allowing charitable fundraising events to offer games of skill. With this statute in place, the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) of 1988 allows tribes to offer Class II electronic games as well as other games of skill such as pull-tabs.

Slot Machine Private Ownership in Alaska

Private ownership of a slot machine in Alaska is legal if not offered as a gaming device used for real-money gambling.

Gaming Control Board in Alaska

Alaska does not have a state gaming commission, gaming control board, or state lottery.

As established by federal law, the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) regulates Alaska’s Class II bingo-style gaming facilities through the IGRA.

These community bingo halls also offer bingo-style gaming machines and pull-tab games, a type of paper-based lottery card, recognized in 1960 by a state statute as a skill-based game.
