About Lancer Casino
Lancer Casino, also known as Lancer Lanes and Casino, is the all-in-one entertainment property at 1250 Bridge Street in Clarkston, Washington. The complex opened in 2008 under owner Lance Rinard and combines a 6-table house-banked card casino, 4-table poker room, bowling lanes, a pool hall, a bar, and a restaurant. It sits on the Snake River across from Lewiston, Idaho, and is licensed by the Washington State Gambling Commission. The casino floor is restricted to players 18 and over, while the bowling and arcade spaces accommodate guests as young as 13.
The format is genuinely unusual in Washington gaming. Lancer markets itself as a family entertainment center first and a card casino second, and the cross-traffic between bowling leagues, pool players, and the poker room shapes the property’s character. For broader context, see our Washington casinos directory and the surrounding Clarkston listings.

One of the most unusual gaming venues in Washington
Lancer Casino is genuinely a bowling alley with a poker room inside, and it works as exactly that. The casino is small (6 tables, 4 poker), but the cross-traffic with the lanes and pool hall gives it a livelier feel than the average eastern Washington card room. For travelers crossing the Lewiston-Clarkston Snake River corridor, it is the regional gaming stop. For a tournament destination or a slot floor, look west to a tribal flagship.
Bowling and a poker hand on the same trip
Lancer is the only place around where I can bowl a few games, get a beer, and sit down at a poker table without driving. The room is small but dealers are friendly and the spread limit hold'em runs most evenings. Restaurant food is honest bar fare. If you live in the Lewiston-Clarkston valley this is your local.
Location and Regulation
The complex is at 1250 Bridge Street in Clarkston, on the Washington side of the Snake River bridge to Lewiston, Idaho. Lance Rinard owns and operates the property under license from the Washington State Gambling Commission. Card-casino gaming is open from 3 pm Monday through Wednesday, with extended hours later in the week. Sportsbook activity is not offered (Washington restricts sportsbooks to tribal retail authority).
