Gambling in Maine

[1] Brief harness racing meets of up to eight days each also occur at six agricultural fairs throughout the state, from July to October, with parimutuel wagering offered.

[7] Slot machines at horse tracks were approved in a statewide referendum in 2003, but were rejected by voters in the city of Scarborough, leading to Bangor having the only permitted casino.

Under the new law, the right to offer mobile sports betting was granted exclusively to Maine's federally recognized tribes.

Tribes will be able to partner with third parties to operate their online sportsbook platforms, but would still have to retain a significant portion of the overall revenue.

[11] Maine law permits many types of community organizations to conduct various games of chance for fundraising purposes, including bingo (with prizes up to $400),[12] raffles (with prize values up to $75,000),[13] and card games (generally with a maximum bet of $1 per hand).
