Chumash is about a quick 1 or so away from San Luis Obispo. There are always epic people playing at Chumash (ie ZZ Top, Willie Nelson, etc.). The black jack tables are always fun and there is a good amount of slot machines for people that are patient enough. Patrons must be 21 years of age or older to enter the casino. This includes dining establishments located in the gaming area. This means it’s important to always double-check whether a tribal casino has a legal age of 18-years-old or 21-years-old before making the trip. Most tribal casinos follow the 21-year-old rule. However, there are more than 20 (out of 63) that currently allow 18-year-olds to enter.
The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians is raising the gambling age at its casino as part of a new liquor permit. The tribe will be able to serve liquor on the floor of the Chumash Casino Resort as part of the permit. But patrons must be at least 21 years of age to enter the facility from now on. “Alcohol will be available to be sold and consumed in areas of the gaming floor that we will determine and enforce,' Chairman Vincent Armenta said in a press release. 'We have proven that our resort can operate in a responsible way when serving alcohol, and we will continue to do so under these new guidelines.” The state Department of Alcohol Beverage Control granted an interim operational permit to the tribe but local opponents are planning to speak at an appeal hearing, The Santa Barbara Independent reported. Prior to the new permit, the casino allowed people 18 and over to gamble. But liquor was not allowed on the floor under the old conditions. The tribe is working on an $160 million expansion of the facility. Get the Story:
