    I sometimes think of DD searching for the most obscure, mundane shit that could possibly be found posted on an internet site then copying and pasting.
    One has to wonder what does this ahve to do with SE Asia? news? Or even his search for stupid American tricks posts?

    I thought that the legal age for gambling in most states was 21. What was an 18 year old doing on a gambling cruise ship?

    Since gambling is not legal in Florida (pretty sure on that but sht changes) I imagine a casino ship would go beyond the territorial waters thus avoidig certain regulations...
    kinda the piont of a "Casino Ship" no?

    You are right. You can not gamble in Florida unless you are on one of the many reservations (or one of the pari-mutuel parks, Jai Alai in Dade or Broward counties) or outside the 7 mile (?) limit,………………oh yeah and then there is also the Florida Lottery. I think I covered everything?????
    Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

    Your point concerning a gambling boat going out far enough to not being affected by state laws is well taken. About 15 years ago, I took a gambling boat from Key West but I don't remember if I saw any teenagers gambling on it. I've never been on a cruise ship, so I have no idea if they have any age limits on gambling but would suspect that they do. Is there any age limit on these exclusively gambling boats?

    18 old enough to vote and go get your ass shot up, so should be old enough to drink and gamble if you so wish.
    IMHO
