Idaho is fairly liberal when it comes to gambling. Sure, if we are talking about online live dealers and slot casinos, the Gem State still has a long way to go. However, its residents may enjoy many other forms of betting and gambling.
Thus, the lottery is legal and operated by the state. There are no commercial casinos, but Tribal land-based venues offer slot machines. There are even a couple of racetracks with simulcast and pari-mutuel betting deemed lawful.
Idaho is also very lenient to charitable gambling. Non-profit organizations can hold events by paying low annual fees of between 100 to 300 USD. The list of allowed activities includes raffles and bingo and the state does not take any tax cut from the revenues on these events.
Plus, the residents of Idaho can have slot machines at home. These have to be electronic devices manufactured before 1950 and they can serve recreational and decorative purposes.
