The Minnesota Supreme Court has settled a dispute between a tribal nation and a racetrack casino over what’s called “dealer assist” electronic table games in favor of the racetrack.
The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community challenged a 2023 decision by the Minnesota Racing Commission approving a plan by Running Aces Hotel, Casino & Racetrack to add another “dealer assist” table to its card room in Columbus. The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community operates a gaming complex on its land just south of the Twin Cities.
Evan Nelson, lead attorney for Running Aces, said his client is pleased with the outcome of the case.
