Are You Allowed To Take Pictures Inside A Casino
May 29, 2008 Taking Pictures At A Casino. I always wonder if it is illegal/forbidden to take pictures inside of a casino? When I was vacationing in Atlantic City last year, I wanted to take a few shots of inside the casino for the memories but I have never seen anyone do it before. I was also paranoid they may take my camera and delete the pictures. Jun 08, 2004 I remeber seeing a big sign at a casino entry in Reno or Lake Tahoe, inviting to take photographs inside. If there is no specific sign at the entry, you may get away with shooting one or two pictures. When confronted you can try to say 'I did not know'. Shooting inside Pechanga casino last weekend, without flash, I was requested to stop it.

TYPES OF CASINOS IN FLORIDA
There are three types of Florida casinos: casino boats, Indian casinos, and gaming machines at pari-mutuels in two south Florida counties.
The casino boats offer gamblers the opportunity to board ships that cruise offshore where casino gambling is legal. From the west coast the boats travel nine miles out into the Gulf of Mexico. From the East coast they travel 3 miles out into the Atlantic Ocean.
Unless otherwise noted, all Florida casino boats offer: blackjack, craps, roulette, slots and video poker. Some casinos also offer: mini-baccarat, poker, pai gow poker, three-card poker, Caribbean stud poker, let it ride, big 6 wheel, bingo and sports book.
The minimum drinking age on all boats is 21. Due to security restrictions, you must present a photo ID at all casino boats or you will not be allowed to board.

INDIAN CASINOS IN FLORIDA
There are eight Florida Indian casinos. The Seminole Tribe has seven and the eighth is on the Miccosukee Tribe’s reservation.
The Seminoles signed a compact with the state that allows them to offer traditional Class III gaming machines. As part of their compact, five Seminole casinos are also allowed to offer blackjack, baccarat, mini-baccarat, three card poker, let it ride and pai gow poker.
The Miccosukee Tribe has not signed a compact and they only offer Class II gaming machines at their casino. Class II video gaming devices look like slot machines, but are actually bingo games and the spinning reels are for “entertainment purposes only.” No public information is available concerning the payback percentages on any gaming machines in Florida’s Indian casinos.
The other games allowed in all Indian casinos in Florida are: high-stakes bingo, video pull tabs and poker. All of the casinos are open 24 hours (except Big Cypress) and all offer bingo except for both Seminole Hard Rock Casinos and the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek. The minimum gambling age is 18 at all Indian casinos for bingo or poker and 21 for electronic gaming machines.
