Although Kentucky has a long tradition with horse racing, it has not legalized casinos (online or otherwise). There have been limited discussions of legalizing online casinos, but it seems unlikely that we’ll see online casinos offered there in the foreseeable future. Casino Gambling Age in Kentucky There is no legal casino gambling in Kentucky and that means, no legal gambling age has been defined. However, as residents can travel across state to gamble it is worthwhile to know the legal ages there. Indiana, Ohio and Illinois all have a minimum age of 21 for gambling in the casino.

What does it take to legalize casinos in Kentucky?
According to court rulings and attorney general opinions, Section 226 of the state Constitution would have to be amended. That section does not explicitly outlaw “casinos,” but forbids “lotteries” other than the state lottery. Lotteries are principally regarded as the sale of tickets and awarding of prizes to winning ticket holders.
But lotteries are also defined as “any scheme for the distribution of prizes by chance.” That was the view taken by state courts and former Attorney General Greg Stumbo when, in 2005, he wrote an opinion saying, “The case law is clear; to be a “lottery,” the winner must be chosen “purely by chance.” (Read: How Kentucky Money Fuels Cross-Border Casinos, Other State Budgets) Mas poker club.
Somehow, the “purely by chance” doctrine was applied to card games as well as the play-and-pray games of slot machines, roulette and dice. Poker, blackjack and baccarat players would beg to disagree, as success at those games require a high degree of skill to go with elements of chance.
In any case, amending the Constitution has become the go-to route to bring casinos to Kentucky. A bill must be introduced in the General Assembly, and at least 60 percent of each chamber — the House and the Senate — would have to vote for the bill. From there, Kentucky voters would have their say on the proposed amendment. A simple majority would make it law.
Two such attempts in the past three years have failed. In 2012, a bill supported by Gov. Steve Beshear was approved by the Democratic-controlled House but rejected by the Republican-controlled Senate, despite the co-sponsorship of Sen. Damon Thayer, who went on to become Senate majority leader. In 2014, several bills were issued in both chambers, and all died in committees.

This year’s bill calls for a maximum of six casinos in the state, no more than one in any Congressional district and only in counties of at least 85,000 in population. Its sponsor? Stumbo, now speaker of the House.

A second bill introduced in the state Senate by Sen. Julian Carroll would authorize sports betting in Kentucky, on the condition that the current federal law prohibiting sports betting is changed.
A pre-filed version of the bills first surfaced before the holidays. At the time, local news station WCPO reported the sponsor of the legislation, State Rep. Dennis Keene, was looking at increasing the betting options at the state’s existing racing venues as well as authorizing up to four casinos in the state:
“Casinos and gambling have been the subject of controversial bills in recent legislative sessions, but Dennis Keene said he believes “the atmosphere is more receptive right now.”
Kentucky already allows parimutuel gambling — betting in which all winning bets share the total pool — at specific venues for horse racing. Keene’s bill would expand what those venues can do as well as add up to four casinos across the state. 21 grand casino login.

The bill, HB 41, would remove the current prohibition on casino gambling in the state.
In so doing, Kentucky would authorize up to four new casinos. Racetracks would also be permitted to offer limited casino gambling too.
The state lottery would license up to four casinos at a cost of $50 million for a 10-year license. Thereafter, each licensee would pay an annual renewal fee of $6 million.
The bill also:
*Imposes a hefty 31 percent tax rate on casinos games.
*Requires a $3 admission charge per person per day.Application process resembles Massachusetts
The process for applying for a casino license is very similar to the one successfully instituted in Massachusetts.
Potential casino operators would put forth a proposal and “bid” for the casino licenses, with the Lottery then evaluating each proposal and selecting the best of the bunch.
Prior to being evaluated by the Lottery, local municipalities would have to approve each casino proposal via a voter referendum.What are the bills’ chances?
The horse racing industry is incredibly powerful in Kentucky, and the only gambling game in town at the moment. If racing isn’t on board the bill is probably dead in the water.
So it’s not surprising to see casino gambling and sports betting opened up to racing venues. But these concessions are likely not enough.
According to the Lexington Herald Leader, the bill has several highly placed opponents:
“State Senate President Robert Stivers, R-Manchester, said he does not favor allowing casinos in Kentucky and sees little chance the legislature will approve a casino measure in 2018.
And Republican Gov. Matt Bevin has said casino gambling is not going to happen in Kentucky.” Closest casino to los angeles with slot machines near me.Want casinos? Just add water
For most of the 20th century, casino gambling was only legal in two places in the United States: Nevada and Atlantic City.
Since the early 1990’s, and spurred on by the 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA), casinos have multiplied faster than gremlins.
