Washington Slots
History of Washington Slots
It took a few years before Washington opened it's doors to legal gambling. In 1889, it was considered illegal for someone to be engaged in any kind of betting. Washington only started to be more lenient in 1933 when it permitted horse racing betting. By 1972, gambling activities became legal when Washington received a large amount of votes from the people and officials of the state. A year after, the state created its own gaming commission. More than 10 years after, tribal casinos were permitted, and in 1999, tribes were allowed to use slots machines in their casinos.
Washington Slots Machine Laws
Like most of the states in the country, only those that had been manufactured 25 years ago or more are allowed to be bought and displayed by home owners. You are liable if you acquire newer slots machines. This is to ensure that Washington residents won't be able to spend time playing slots in their respective homes (what can you really do with collectibles or antiques, anyway?).

More Gambling in Washington
All gambling activities in the state are regulated by the Washington State Gambling Commission. It doesn't only watch out for casino establishments; but it also monitors tribal gambling halls such as card rooms, bingos, and raffles. There's a separate agency that oversees the state lottery, a gambling activity that had been approved during the time when Washington was in an economic crisis.
Things to Do While in Washington
Washington is outdoors at it's finest, which means that you have plenty of alternative activities if you ever get tired of the various casinos (which is highly unlikely). You can take a stroll, hike, or jog in the forests and national parks. If water is your thing, you can cruise, swim, kayak, canoe, and fish in Washington's lakes such as the one found in Mount Rainier. You can also head on to Redmond where you can find the main headquarters of Microsoft or to Seattle and get the original cup of Starbucks Coffee.
