North Dakota has more than 800 sites throughout the state that offer blackjack, with a $5 maximum bet, for the benefit of charities.
There are also six Indian casinos which, although not restricted to that same $5 amount, are limited by law to the following maximum bets: blackjack-$50, craps-$25, slots-$5, video poker-$5 and poker-$10 per bet, per round with a maximum of three rounds.
The terms of the state's compact with the tribes require the electronic machines to return a minimum of 80% and a maximum of 100%. However, if a machine is affected by skill, such as video poker or video blackjack, the machines must return a minimum of 83%.
All casinos are open 24 hours and offer: blackjack, craps, poker, slots, video poker, video keno and video blackjack. Optional games include: Caribbean stud poker (CSP), let it ride (LIR), keno (K), bingo (BG), big-6 wheel (B6) and simulcasting (S). Roulette is not allowed in North Dakota. The minimum gambling age is 18 (21 if liquor is served).
