Gambling in New Jersey A person must be 21 years of age to gamble at a casino in New Jersey.[83] It is legal for a minor to go to a casino, insofar as they do not gamble, consume alcoholic beverage, or remain on the gambling floor.[84] Underage gambling at a casino is a disorderly persons offense (misdemeanor), punishible by a $500â€“$1000 fine and a mandatory six-month driver's license suspension, and plea bargaining of underage gambling charges is prohibited.[85] The legal age for other forms of licensed gambling (e.g., lottery, horse race) is 18, but a person under 18 may take part in amusement games where the prize is an item (e.g., a stuffed animal), and not cash.[86] There is no minimum age for social gambling.
