Idaho is located in the North West, bordering six other states and one Canadian Province. The state is known for its incredible landscape, outdoor adventures and agricultural excellence especially when it comes to potatoes.

But if you’re looking for a bit of gambling action rather than outdoor action, can you find it in Idaho? The answer is yes. And like many states that’s thanks to Native American tribes and the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) that allows tribes to operate casinos despite state laws prohibiting it. 

It must be noted though, that although tribal casinos are allowed to operate with slots, and bingo, live table games such as blackjack, roulette and craps are not allowed. If you want to play table games you can do so on the electronic games instead.

Idaho Land-Based Casino Operators

Due to state regulations, there are no commercial casinos in Idaho, however, there are seven tribal-owned casinos in the state. The tribes that own them are:

  • Coeur d'Alene Tribe – owns Coeur d'Alene Casino
  • Kootenai Tribe - owns Kootenai River Inn and Casino
  • Nez Perce Tribe – owns Clearwater River Casino and It’se Ye Ye Casino
  • Shoshone-Bannock Tribes - own Fort Hall Casino, Sage Hill Travel Center and Casino and Bannock Peak Casino

Idaho Casino Resorts 

Although five of the casinos in Idaho resemble casinos in other towns and cities that we would come to expect, two of them are more add-on casinos based at truck stops. If you’re looking for a full casino experience, you’d be better off avoiding Sage Hill Travel Center and Casino and Bannock Peak Casino and trying these casinos instead:

  • Coeur d'Alene Casino – A 300 room luxury hotel with 100,000 square feet of gaming space. The casino has 1,200 slots, a large bingo hall and a Discovery Den where new video slots are tested out by players. The resort also has multiple restaurants, a spa, live entertainment and a golf course for guests to enjoy.
  • Clearwater River Casino – Located along Clearwater River, this casino resort has a hotel, saltwater pool, jacuzzi, busy event space, different dining options and a sports bar. The 40,000 square foot casino offers over 600 slots.
  • Kootenai River Inn and Casino – Nestled along the Kootenai River, this casino resort offers luxury rooms with balconies giving panoramic views. The property has an indoor pool and spa, fitness center, sun deck, plus a restaurant and deli. The casino has 400 slot machines and a bingo hall. 

More Than Gambling

Idaho is a great place to visit, not only for the quirky casinos but also for the natural beauty and other activities available such as:

  • Natural beauty – Idaho has some incredible scenic spots such as Shoshone Falls which is taller than Niagara Falls, Craters of the Moon National Monument, Sawtooth Mountains and Hells Canyon
  • Outdoor Activities – Whether you enjoy hiking, rafting, kayaking, boating, fishing, sandboarding, horseback riding or camping you can do it all in Idaho. Don’t forget Sun Valley ski resort too. 
  • Hot Springs – There are some beautiful Hot Springs to check out including Kirkham Hot Springs, Goldbug Hot Springs and Lava Hot Springs which is a resort town with multiple hot spring pools.
  • Attractions – Idaho is full of amusement parks, water parks and attractions for all the family. Places such as Idaho’s largest indoor water park Silver Rapids, Roaring Springs Water Park, Silverwood Theme Park and Yellowstone Bear World. 

Important Considerations

The gambling age for casinos in Idaho is 18 years old, however, often tribes set their own age requirement of 21 years. It is always advisable to check ahead with the individual casino and bring photographic ID with you on entry.
