The legality of bingo in Minnesota is up for debate. Bingo has been legal in the state since 1975, but the legality of private gambling houses is more unclear. Some argue that bingo is a form of gambling, while others claim that it is not because it does not involve cash or prizes. The Minnesota Gaming and Betting Act does not specifically mention bingo, but it does allow for games such as poker and blackjack.
As long as these games are conducted in accordance with state law, they are considered legal. However, there is no guarantee that the courts would rule in favor of bingo if it were to be challenged.
