Casinos in Minnesota

21 casinos across 19 cities

Minnesota's case for tourism is straightforward: the Boundary Waters, the Twin Cities, ten thousand lakes, and a Scandinavian-influenced food and design culture that feels genuinely distinct. The state also has one of the more robust tribal casino scenes in the country, with gaming properties scattered across the state that range from modest local operations to sprawling resort complexes with golf, hotels, and concert venues. Gambling in Minnesota is legal through tribal compacts and has been part of the cultural fabric here since the late 1980s. Minneapolis-area casinos in particular offer a convenient option for city visitors who want to squeeze in some table time between museum visits and restaurant crawls.
