Pull-tabs are legal and easy to find in Idaho. The Idaho Lottery runs pull-tabs as an official product line, selling paper break-open tickets and electronic TouchTab games at licensed retailers across the state. The state's tribal casinos add a second channel, offering electronic pull-tab machines under Class II gaming. The one real limit is on charities: unlike some states, Idaho does not let nonprofits run their own pull-tab games, restricting them to bingo and raffles.
Idaho Lottery pull-tabs
The Idaho Lottery sells pull-tabs directly to the public. Paper break-open tickets such as 6 To Go! ($1, top prize $300) and 24/7 Sports ($1, top prize $400) are played by pulling open the tabs to reveal symbols and are available at licensed lottery retailers.
The lottery also runs a line of electronic pull-tabs branded TouchTab, including games such as Wild Thing, Seven Diamonds, Dynamite Diamonds and Aim High. Pull-tab prizes are claimed at the location of play on the day of play, and buyers must be at least 18.
Tribal casino pull-tabs
Idaho's seven tribal casinos, including the Coeur d'Alene Casino in Worley, offer electronic pull-tab machines as part of their Class II gaming. These are open to the general public, with a minimum age of 18.
Tribal gaming operates under tribal-state compacts and federal oversight rather than the state lottery, but it is a legitimate and widely used way for Idaho players to buy pull-tabs.
Charities are limited to bingo and raffles
Idaho does not authorize charities to run pull-tab games. Under Idaho Code Title 67, Chapter 77, only nonprofit organizations may conduct bingo and raffles, and other activities like casino nights are prohibited.
This is a narrower charitable framework than many states use. If you are looking for a nonprofit-run pull-tab night, you will not find one in Idaho, but lottery and tribal pull-tabs remain broadly available.
Where can I play pull tabs in Idaho?
Idaho Lottery pull-tabs are sold at licensed lottery retailers statewide, including grocery stores, convenience stores and taverns that hold a lottery license, with TouchTab machines at many of those locations. Electronic pull-tab machines are also available at Idaho's tribal casinos, such as the Coeur d'Alene Casino in Worley.
