Minnesota is nicknamed the Land of 10,000 Lakes, and it feels like they’re the land of 10,000 gambling options. They offer 21 tribal casinos along with poker rooms, racetracks, charitable gambling and a lottery.
The charity gaming is significant because, as we’ll cover later, Minnesota is the number-one state in this category.
One thing that’s helped Minnesota build such a thriving gaming industry is that citizens can change laws through referendums. This has been used multiple times to create more gambling tax revenue and jobs for state residents.
None of the tax revenue comes from tribal casinos because they’re on sovereign land. And this has caused some tension, which is another point that we’ll cover later.
Let’s continue discussing Minnesota’s gaming scene by looking at key stats, legal gambling actions, whether or not online gaming is legal and where you can currently gamble in the state.
Minnesota has a strange gaming market because their 19 casinos and 2 racetracks are based on Native-American reservations. Lawmakers have tried to change this by approving a state-owned casino, but it’s yet to happen.
It’s estimated that tribal casinos earn over $10 billion in annual revenue, but they don’t have to pay state taxes. Instead, the money has gone towards building schools, hospitals and fitness centers on once-struggling Indian reservations.
Through a 2012 article on TheBlaze, it was revealed that each member of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Tribe receives over $1 million from annual casino revenues. Furthermore, many of the Shakopee own luxury cars, take multiple vacations and don’t need to work due to their income.
This is a point of contention for some non-tribal residents, who think that the casinos should give something back. And this motivated the Minnesota Indian Gaming Association to release a report showing how they give back by employing 15,287 tribal and non-tribal Minnesotans, covering their benefits and investing in state projects.
That said, the tribal casinos and racetracks do contribute to Minnesota – it just doesn’t show up in the tax revenue figures.
Because of this, the Minnesota State Lottery and charity gambling are the only two forms of gaming accounted for in our revenue figures.
