Minnesota has a long history with the Native American Tribes, which is where all of the casino gambling in the state comes from.

Notes: Walleye Fishing has Re-Opened on Upper Red. 2 fish limit, with a 17-26 inch slot. Specializing in Walleye, Northern Pike and Crappie. Located about 60 miles north of Bemidji within the Red.

It is believed by many fishermen that we still have nearly the same fishing opportunities that our grandparents had here a couple of generations ago. In the Bemidji area the most common special regulation on the 13 lakes which stray from the statewide limit is a protected 24 to 36-inch slot. Anglers are also allowed to keep one pike over 36 inches. Cass Lake Lodge is the perfect destination with lots of shopping opportunities available.

There are over 20 tribal casinos in MN, offering a range of electronic gaming machines and pari-mutuel betting.

Apart from wagering at casinos and racetracks, Minnesota residents are also able to play the lottery and bingo.

In our guide below, we'll examine every option of gambling available in the Gopher State.

We'll also look at the current laws regulating the industry, and the future of casinos in Minnesota.

Online Casinos in Minnesota

Minnesota has not legalized any forms of online gambling in the state just yet.

It does not look like it's going to be legal to play at an online casino any time soon, as Minnesota tends to have a more traditional look on gambling.

If you're caught playing on an online casino, the biggest consequence you'll face is a 'misdemeanor.' This has no real penalties attached.

So far, no one in Minnesota has gotten into any legal trouble for gambling online.

The state could potentially legalize Daily Fantasy Sports in the near future, which would be the sole online gambling option.

Land-Based Casinos in Minnesota

All Minnesota casinos are located on Indian reservations and under a compact reached with the state the only table games permitted are card games such as blackjack and poker.

Additionally, the only kind of slot machines allowed at casinos in Minnesota is the electronic video variety.

Therefore, you will not find any mechanical slots that have traditional reels - only video screens.

Optional games include: poker, Caribbean stud poker, pai gow poker, three-card poker, ultimate Texas hold’em, Mississippi stud, let it ride, and bingo.

There are no casinos in Minneapolis. However, there are two casinos near Minneapolis. About 25 miles southwest is Mystic Lake Casino, which is also the largest casino in Minnesota.

The other is the Little Six Casino, which is affiliated with Mystic Lake and is within a one-mile drive from that casino.

Types of Casino in Minnesota

Indian Casinos

Every casino facility in MN is operated by a Native American Tribe.

According to the terms of the compact between the state and the tribes, the minimum and maximum payouts for casinos in Minnesota are regulated as follows:

• video poker and video blackjack - 83% to 98%
• slot machines - 80% to 95%
• keno - 75% to 95%

Each tribe is free to set its machines to pay back anywhere within those limits and the tribes do not release any information regarding their slot machine percentage paybacks.

This means that there is no way to tell which MN casino payouts are the best.

Unlike the casinos in Minnesota, in many U.S. states, the slot machine payback statistics for that particular state’s casinos are released as a matter of public record. Just clickhere to see a list of slot machine payback statistics for all U.S. casinos.

Pari-Mutuel Wagering

Betting on horses was legalized in the 1980s after the state spent decades going back and forth trying to pass a bill for it.

Pari-mutuel betting is permitted at two horse racetracks in MN; Canterbury Park and Running Aces.

Off-track betting is illegal in MN, as well as dog racing.
