Introduction to Iowa Slot Machine Casino Gambling in 2019

Iowa slot machine casino gambling consists of 16 riverboat casinos, four tribal casinos, and three pari-mutuel racetracks with slot machines.

Payout return minimum and maximum limits have been legally set for four tribal casinos, but none exist for the 19 commercial casinos. However, payout return statistics are available for these commercial casinos.

This post continues my weekly State-By-State Slot Machine Casino Gambling Series, an online resource dedicated to guiding slot machine casino gambler to success. Now in its third year, each weekly post reviews slots gambling in a single U.S. state, territory, or federal district.

Relevant Legal Statutes on Gambling in Iowa*

The minimum legal gambling age in Iowa does not depend upon the gambling activity:

Land-Based Casinos: 21
Poker Rooms: 21
Bingo: 21
Lottery: 21
Pari-Mutuel Wagering: 21

Iowa has had a steady progress toward various forms of legalized gambling, sometimes the first state in the nation to offer them via constitutional amendments. This timeline includes:

1972: Games of change such as bingo and raffles
1983: Pari-mutuel wagering at racetracks
1985: State lottery
1989: Excursion boat gambling approved
1991: Riverboat gambling boats opened (first in the nation)
1992: Tribal-state compacts approved for tribal casinos
1994: Slot machines allowed at pari-mutuel wagering sites
2004: Permanent mooring of riverboat casinos allowed
2005: Many new licenses granted for new riverboat casinos

Iowa is at the forefront of the gambling industry with regards to legalized gambling. It was the first state to legalize riverboat casinos. Also, they were the first to legally allow both slot machines and table games at pari-mutuel racetrack facilities. By doing so, they created the first so-called racinos.

In mid-2017, the IRGC requested gaming market analysis studies from two independent contracting companies. These comprehensive Iowa gaming market studies became publicly available in October 2017.

The negotiated and approved tribal-state gaming compacts for Iowa’s three federally-recognized tribes is available at Indian Gaming Compacts within the Indian Affairs Division of the U.S. Department of the Interior.
