It’s actually unlikely to find a simple three scroll slot 30 win line machine like the old days anymore. Now online slots offer three scroll games, five scroll games, and variations that take some games up to 100 win lines. One of the most common variations you’ll encounter is free slot machines.

New Mexico slot machine casino gambling consists of 22 tribal casinos plus another five racinos with racetracks. Further, there are over 50 non-profit sites offering slots. New Mexico has many more slot machines per state resident than any other U.S. state.

Tribal casinos, commercial racinos, and non-profit organizations have set a minimum theoretical payout limit. None publicly report return statistics.

This post continues my weekly State-By-State Slot Machine Casino Gambling Series, an online resource dedicated to guiding slot machine casino gambler to success. Now in its third year, each weekly post reviews slots gambling in a single U.S. state, territory, or federal district.

Relevant Legal Statutes on Gambling in New Mexico*

The minimum legal gambling age in New Mexico depends upon the gambling activity:

Land-Based Casinos: 21
Poker Rooms: 21
Bingo: No age limit
Lottery: 18
Pari-Mutuel Wagering: 18

Pari-mutuel wagering has been legal since the 1930s, having a thriving industry until the late 1980s when Texas legalized pari-mutuel wagering. Recovery and stability occurred when New Mexico legalized offering slot machines in their racinos.

In 1995, the state and 25 federally-recognized American Indian tribes or pueblos negotiated thirteen identical state-tribal gaming compacts eventually approved after various delays. Each tribe is associated with at least one Indian casino in New Mexico.

Several amendments made to the 1995 state-tribal compacts include a requirement that the tribal casino reports a net win amount. These compacts currently expire in 2037.

Each of New Mexico’s five racinos can have up to 750 gaming machines, including 600 of their own and another 150 leased for a different racino. For these racinos, the state collects 26% of the Net Take in monthly gaming taxes.

Further, 20% of the Net Take from racino gaming machines must go to horsemen’s purses, which has been a significant amount: In fiscal year 2014, horsemen’s purses received over $50M from gaming revenues.

Finally, a thriving charitable gaming industry exists in New Mexico. Dozens of non-profit organizations legally offer electronic gaming machines like the slot machines found at New Mexico’s racinos.

*The purpose of this section is to inform the public of state gambling laws and how the laws might apply to various forms of gaming. It is not legal advice.

Slot Machine Private Ownership in New Mexico

Privately owning a slot machine has only recently become available. Legal restrictions on obtaining it are highly limited to the following terms:

It must be purchased from a distributor or manufacturer licensed to distribute and manufacture slot machines in New Mexico.
Only such New Mexico licensed distributors and manufacturers may transport gaming machines in New Mexico.
The homeowner may not make a profit from having the slot machine.
Persons who play on the machine can play for winnings only.
The homeowner may not offer the slot machine for resale without a license.
The homeowner may not transport a slot machine from one location to another without a license.
A homeowner charging a fee to play or keeping a portion of monies for any reason would be commercial gambling which, without a gambling license, is a felony.

As an exception, an antique gambling device can be legally owned without restriction, provided it was manufactured before 1970 as well as is not used in gambling.

In 1997, the state legislature established the New Mexico Gaming Control Board. The control board’s website is both highly comprehensive and easy to navigate, include maps of:
