Top Five Casinos in Minnesota

Besides the eight months that I lived in Las Vegas, I have lived in Minnesota my whole life. I do not get a huge opportunity to gamble a lot, but I guess that is good so I do not have to spend a lot of my money and waste it. I have seen most if not all the casinos in Minnesota and this is my top five picks for the best casinos in Minnesota.

1. Grand Casino Hinckley

This was the first casino I was introduced to when I turned 18 and was old enough to gamble in the state of Minnesota. Grand Casino in Hinckley, Minnesota is also quite popular because it is close to the Twin Cities on the north side. In the summer seasons when a lot of people are going up north to their cabins it can get really busy. They have a huge floor and a large slot selection. I am not a bingo person but they do have a massive bingo room. I recommend signing up for their player's card and getting all the rewards they have to offer.

2. Treasure Island

Treasure Island is only about 45 minutes from the Twin Cities but it well worth the drive. I love the selection of games at this casino. It also has a really nice non smoking section if you get bothered by all the smoke at the casinos. If you sign up for their free player's card you can get a lot of nice promotions you can take advantage of. There is not a lot to see and do around the casino but if you do stay at the hotel you will be amazed. They have really nice rooms and a super cool pool with a waterfall. Best of all the rooms are really cheap.

3. Mystic Lake

Mystic Lake is by far one of the most popular casinos in Minnesota just because of the fact that it is so close to the Twin Cities. You can get to Mystic Lake Hotel and Casino in about 30 minutes from the Minneapolis area. It is a pretty big casino with a large slot selection. Eventhough it does have a large slot selection, it is still hard to get a slot on a Friday and Saturday night just because it does get so busy.

4. Jackpot Junction
