After having visited Chumash Casino for over 33 times in the past 30 years or so, I think the time has come for me to write a final review of this place. I'll try to make it short and brief, but it's not going to be possible. I was there on June 16th to June 17th, 2020. How old do you have to be to gamble at Chumash Casino Resort? Visitors must be 21-years-old or older to enter. The casino serves alcohol openly on the gambling floors, so the age limit is meant to prevent underage drinking. See our guide to 18+ gambling in California.


The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians is raising the gambling age at its casino as part of a new liquor permit. The tribe will be able to serve liquor on the floor of the Chumash Casino Resort as part of the permit. But patrons must be at least 21 years of age to enter the facility from now on. “Alcohol will be available to be sold and consumed in areas of the gaming floor that we will determine and enforce,' Chairman Vincent Armenta said in a press release. 'We have proven that our resort can operate in a responsible way when serving alcohol, and we will continue to do so under these new guidelines.” The state Department of Alcohol Beverage Control granted an interim operational permit to the tribe but local opponents are planning to speak at an appeal hearing, The Santa Barbara Independent reported. Prior to the new permit, the casino allowed people 18 and over to gamble. But liquor was not allowed on the floor under the old conditions. The tribe is working on an $160 million expansion of the facility. Get the Story:
