Chicago Monte Casino Age Restriction
Guide to Chicago area Casinos.
If you limit your gambling many casinos have other low cost or free things to do and eat as well as people watching. It can still be a relatively inexpensive way to spend a day or evening particularly once winter is upon us.
Illinois public health officials announced 4,000 new COVID-19 cases Tuesday and 46 additional deaths. Restrictions will be imposed for Illinois Region 10, suburban Cook County, on Wednesday. Minimum Age to Gamble in United States of America. Below you will find the minimum legal age to gamble in various locations around the U.S., Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. In the 50 American states, some times you'll see a variance, this usually is due to Indian casinos having different age requirements in their casinos than state regulated.

No free drinks
Unlike Vegas (although that’s changing too), Illinois and Indiana gaming regulations do not allow casinos to provide free alcoholic beverages. They are sold at greatly reduced prices if you’re gambling (think: penny slots).
Hours
Unlike Vegas and Indiana, Illinois casino’s are required to close for two hours everyday. If you decide to pull an all-nighter you may have to leave the casino. I’ve seen people sit (or sleep) in their cars until the casino reopens. The minimum gambling age in Illinois and Indiana is 21. Getting there: Free Chicago area Casino Shuttles
