SF 5354 Minnesota Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Advance deposit wagering, card playing, and pari-mutuel betting conduct provisions and historical horse racing and other games authorization prohibition

This bill updates Minnesota's gambling laws to clarify rules for advance deposit wagering, card playing, and pari-mutuel betting at licensed racetracks. It explicitly prohibits racetracks from offering historical horse racing, slot machines, video games of chance, or other gambling devices, ensuring these venues focus solely on live or simulcast horse racing and card games. Additionally, the legislation restricts the state racing commission's authority by preventing it from using rulemaking to expand gambling types or approve historical horse racing. The bill also sets specific limits on the number of card tables and the maximum amount a single wager can be.
