Relevant Legal Statutes on Gambling in Minnesota*
The minimum legal gambling age in Minnesota depends upon the gambling activity:
- Land-Based Casinos: 18/21
- Poker Rooms: 18
- Bingo: 18
- Lottery: 18
- Pari-Mutuel Wagering: 18
Minnesota had prohibited gambling prior to its statehood. In fact, the 1851 territorial legislature enacted strict prohibitions against all forms of gambling. This prohibition held for nearly a century and still influences legalized gambling in Minnesota.
The convoluted history of legalized gambling in Minnesota from 1945 through 2005 is well-documented via a 95-page report called Gambling in Minnesota: A Short History available online from the Minnesota House Research Department.
Minnesota’s tribal casinos are located on their reservations. Establishment of tribal gaming regulations was through negotiated state-tribal compacts subsequently approved by the U.S. Department of Interior. Minnesota tribes were the first in the U.S. to negotiate and sign gaming compacts with a state government.
Minnesota has 11 federally-recognized American Indian tribes. Along with these tribes, Minnesota has negotiated 22 tribal-state compacts to produce 19 tribal casinos in the state.
Each tribe has two compacts, one for video games of chance and a second for limited table games with cards. Tribal casinos operate under a combination of state law, tribal ordinance, and tribal-state compacts. Not regulated by the state are Class II competition-style games.
These gaming compacts permit Class III Vegas-style games but are explicitly restricted to blackjack and non-banked card games, such as poker, as well as video games of chance. These electronic video games include video poker, video keno, video slots, and others.
The gaming compacts stipulate the Minnesota Department of Public Safety is responsible for the inspection and approval of these video gaming machines. Both parties agreed that the compacts should be effective in perpetuity but re-negotiations can occur if desired by both parties.
The Minnesota state government makes all tribal-state compacts publicly available at its Tribal-State Gaming Compacts webpage, consisting of 100 downloadable pdf files.
*The purpose of this section is to inform the public of state gambling laws and how the laws apply to various forms of gambling. This information is not intended to provide legal advice.
Slot Machine Private Ownership in Minnesota
Private ownership of slot machines is legal in Minnesota, without restriction regarding the

- Department of Public Safety’s Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division (AEGD)
- Gambling Control Board

The tribal-state compacts provide for inspection and approval of video gaming machines by the AEGD, licensing of casino employees, machine payout percentages, and regulation of the play of blackjack.
Specific overall responsibilities of the AEGD include:

Minnesota is bordered by:
- North: Canadian Provinces of Manitoba and Ontario
- East: Wisconsin Slots and, across Lake Superior, Michigan Slots

- West: North Dakota Slots and South Dakota Slots
Each of the links above will take you to my state-specific blog for that bordering state to Minnesota.
Payout Returns in Minnesota
Per tribal-state gaming compacts, the minimum and maximum payout returns for slot machines are 80% and 95%, respectively, over the lifetime of the game.
Further, video keno and similar games specifically called out in these compacts have a theoretical payout percentage requirement of no less than 75% applied to each number of spots marked per wager.
Video games of chance affected by player skill such as video poker and video blackjack, have a minimum and maximum payout return of 83% and 98%, respectively, again over the lifetime of the game. These limits assume optimal play of these skill-based games.
It’s not required of Minnesota’s American Indian tribal casinos to provide actual values for their payout percentages. However, Little Six Casino currently states on their website that they have the loosest slots in Minnesota, claiming to have a 95% payout return.
