Question

At horse tracks can minors bet on the machines without using id and can you cashwinning tickets at machines ?

Answer 1

In New York you must be 18 or older to place a bet. It is a state law. I have never heard of a mutuel clerk carding a bettor but I image if someone looked too young they would ask for ID.

Answer 2

Only if you did not get caught. .   And I would hate to be you or your parents if you were caught

Answer 3

If you look like you are 18 you can get bye with betting the machines when you are under age. But all of the machines i have seen or used would not give you cash for the winning ticket. But it would give you a cash voucher that you could either bet at the machines or at the windows. To cash a ticket you have to go to the window for your cash. So i would say either take somebody over 18 with you. Or if you win just take the ticket home with you and get somebody over 18 to take it in and cash it for you. At most places winning tickets are good for like 6 months to a year it just depends on the place.

Answer 4

No

my sister works in the par-mutuals and No they watch the machines like a hawk
