Where the casinos in Minnesota actually are
Casino density follows licensing and geography, not population, which is why the list below rarely matches a list of the state's biggest cities. These are the towns with at least one property in the directory, biggest first — the same properties as the map above, counted by the town each one gives.
Before you drive
How far apart the casinos in Minnesota are
A list of 21 properties reads as a single answer, and it is not one: the question a reader arrives with is how long the drive is, and in Minnesota that depends entirely on which end of the state they start from. These figures come from the same coordinates the table and the map use — straight-line miles, so treat them as the floor of a drive rather than its length.
There is no single centre here. The properties are spread widely enough that the nearest floor depends on where you already are, which is what the map on the home page is for — it ranks them by distance from your own location instead of by name.

Straight-line distance between the two properties furthest apart in the state.
5 of 21 are inside fifty miles.
Half of Minnesota's 21 properties sit in just 9 towns; the rest are spread across 10 more.
Grand Portage Lodge & Casino in Grand Portage — the one that will not fit into a day trip from Cass Lake.
Who runs the casinos in Minnesota
1 of Minnesota's 21 properties name an operator in the sources this directory is built from, which leaves most of the table blank on that column — blank rather than guessed at. Where the name is on record it answers the question a state list usually leaves open, which is who you are actually walking in to.
One of them is run by a tribal government, the one below:
- Red Lake Reservation
A tribal floor sets its own house rules above whatever the state requires, including the age at the door, which is why two casinos an hour apart can admit different people. The difference between tribal and commercial casinos is worth reading before a first visit.
Casinos in Minnesota: common questions
How many casinos are there in Minnesota?
This directory lists 21 land-based casino properties in Minnesota, built from OpenStreetMap and Wikidata. That is what can be sourced today rather than an official count — a state regulator counts licences, and one licence is not always one building.
Which city in Minnesota has the most casinos?
Cass Lake, with 2 of the 21 properties listed here. The rest cluster around Shakopee, Ah-gwah-ching, Carlton, Columbus.
Are the opening hours on this page reliable?
2 of the 21 properties publish hours we can source; the rest show "not published" rather than a guess. Hours change for holidays and refurbishments, so the official site — linked in the last column where one exists — is the last word.
How far apart are the casinos in Minnesota?
355 miles separate the two furthest-apart properties, measured straight-line from their own coordinates. 3 of the 21 are within 25 miles of Cass Lake and 5 within fifty, so the practical answer depends on which end of Minnesota you start from — the furthest from that cluster is Grand Portage Lodge & Casino, 232 miles out.
Are the casinos in Minnesota tribal or commercial?
Of the 1 properties here that name an operator, 1 is run by a tribal government — which sets its own house rules, including the minimum age, above whatever the state requires. The rest either name an operator whose name says nothing about ownership or name none at all, and this page does not fill that in.
Can I see these casinos on a map?
Yes. The map on the home page holds every property in the directory and filters to Minnesota; sharing your location ranks them by how far you actually have to drive.
