HF 357 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Authorized card games expanded to include the game of hasenpfeffer.

HF 357 amends Minnesota law to add "hasenpfeffer" to the list of authorized card games for social skill tournaments. The bill directly affects organizers and participants in such tournaments by allowing hasenpfeffer alongside games like bridge and euchre, provided they meet specific conditions. Key provisions require tournaments to offer no direct financial benefit to organizers, limit total prizes to $200, and include accessibility accommodations for disabled players. This change applies to non-commercial card game events under Minnesota Statutes § 609.761. The bill is procedural, expanding the list of permitted games without altering other gaming regulations.
