All Minnesota casinos are located on
Indian reservations and under a compact
reached with the state the only type of
table game permitted is blackjack. Additionally,
the only kind of slot machines allowed are
the electronic video variety. Therefore,
you will not find any mechanical slots that
have traditional reels - only video screens.
The tribes are not required to release
information on their slot machine percentage
paybacks. According to the terms of the
compact between the state and the tribes,
however, the minimum and maximum payouts
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.
The hours of operation are listed for
those casinos that are not open on a 24-hour
basis. Unless otherwise noted, all casinos
offer: video slots, video poker, video keno
and blackjack. The minimum gambling age
is 18 (21 if liquor is served).
