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 at all casinos. Valet parking is free at all Minnesota casinos except for Jackpot Junction and Mystic Lake.
