Minnesota Poker laws may become slightly less arcane.
House file 2795 passed the Minnesota House of Representative and the Minnesota Senate on April 28th. The bill is still awaiting signature by Governor Dayton.
The bill would increase the maximum bet from $60 to $100. This would allow up to $50-100 limit games or $2-100 SLHE games. Additionally it would increase the number of tables allowed to be in service from 50 to 80. Both Canterbury Park and Running Aces often can't open additional tables do to this restriction. Additionally it would allow an unlimited number of tournament tables. Currently the tournament tables are counted in the 50 table limit, except for 14 day a year when unlimited additional tournament tables may be opened.
More tournament tables is a great thing. More cash game tables is a great thing too. (I still don't understand the need for a limit.) And while we still can't have NLHE cash games, $2-100 SLHE is closer.
