The legal gambling age in the USA is either 18 or 21 depending on the state. There are also states that allow casinos to set their own age requirement from 18 to 21 years old. To be sure, it is better to check our table for the exact age required by each state. Also, take note that casinos strictly impose the age requirement as they are heavily fined when caught violating this rule.
