Lancer Lanes & Casino

Lancer Lanes & Casino is a hybrid bowling alley and miniature casino in the small town of Clarkston, Washington. Clarkston is named for William Clark, famous as one half of the adventure duo Lewis and Clark who first surveyed this part of the country for the US government. Directly across the Idaho-Washington border from Clarkston is – you guessed it – Lewiston, Idaho, named for Meriwether Lewis.

Lancer Lanes & Casino is a little entertainment complex in the center of a fairly small Pacific Northwest town. Clarkston is more Idaho than Washington, both in terms of politics and economics. This is a sleepy agricultural town without much in the way of entertainment. Combining the very popular bowling alley and attached pizza joint with a little slot parlor is a great business model, especially in a part of the state where incomes are relatively high and entertainment is limited.

Games

We call it a slot parlor for a reason – the games at Lancer Lanes are all slots and video poker, with a couple of electronic casino-style poker games sprinkled in for good measure. The games are available at all hours of Lancer Lanes operation, which is 9 AM to 2 AM all week long. Live poker games and tournaments are held at Lancer Lanes on a regular basis, according to a calendar posted prominently on their website.

Restaurants & Bars

There is a popular pizza joint adjacent to Lancer Lanes that is open from 11 AM to midnight seven days a week. A snack bar inside Lancer Lanes & Casino serves traditional snack bar food – nachos, hot dogs, sodas, popcorn, etc.

Other Facilities

Bowling lanes are available every day of the week, with tournaments and league play available all year long.
