More recently, Idaho has legalized off-track betting in 2011 and past horse racing games in 2013. Pari-mutuel horse race betting was legalized in 1963, state lottery games were legalized in 1989, and tribal gaming and charitable bingo and raffles three and four years later, consequently. However, a 1953 legislature passed a statewide prohibition law on all forms of gambling.Įven though some forms of gambling were legalized over the years, there are still few options when it comes to gambling activities in Idaho.
Throughout the 1800s, gambling laws were set and regulated by each individual town in Idaho.
