In the US an 18 year old can play poker at /some/ Native American casinos. Depends on the state.
21 all over the country and 18 in canada
Depending on the casino it may be 18, 19 or 21. There is a chart giving the minimum ages by state at
http://www.worldcasinodirectory.com/gambling_age_chart.htm
but even if the minimum age for a state is 18 some casinos where booze is served will set a minimum age of 21.
For Canadian Indian casinos the minimum age is either 18 or 19 according to the chart at

Almost every casino has a toll-free information number you can call, so it is best to check before you go.
in the US, you need to be 21 to even enter a casino. But some indian resevations allow you to be 18 to gamble. for example, Soaring Eagle in Mt. Pleasent, MI. you only have to be 18 to gamble there.
In Canada, the age limit is 19 for everything even drinking. But this is for Windsor, i really don’t know if the rest of canada is differnet.
