A comprehensive economic and market analysis has revealed that Minnesota would receive between $726 million and nearly $1 billion in new revenue from a Twin Cities casino during its first five years of operation.
The projections are based on studies of MinnesotaWins, a proposal by White Earth Nation Indian tribe to build a metro-area casino with net revenues split equally between the tribe and the state of Minnesota.
A market feasibility study conducted for White Earth concluded that the success of a metro-area casino does not depend on a significant expansion of gambling. Instead, the region’s population growth would accommodate both a new casino and the existing tribal casinos.
