GamblingGambling New LawsCharitable changes
A new law will make several changes to rules governing lawful gambling in
Minnesota.
Among the changes is allowing noontime bingo to take place. Previously, establishments that
conducted bingo games were restricted to having no more than 10 bingo occasions each week.
At least 15 bingo games were required to be held at each occasion, and each bingo event had to
continue for at least 90 minutes, but not more than four hours.
The new law will allow an organization to conduct bingo between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. and avoid
the 15-game and time limit requirements.
The new law will also permit the card club at Canterbury Park to hold one tournament per year
lasting no longer than 14 days. It would allow for more than 50 tables to be in use during tournament
play.
The maximum wager limit on card games will also increase from $30 to $60.
Rep. Mike Osskopp (R-Lake City) and Sen. Jim Vickerman (DFL-Tracy) were the sponsors.
