Little Six Casino 2022
A few weeks ago, we decided to visit Little Six casino in Shakopee, MN. It had been a year since we were last there. They recently resumed sending monthly promotional ads in the mail. They were giving $15 in free play to my girlfriend and $25 to me. I guess I must lose more than […]
Mistress of Egypt Slot
Earlier this month (October), I decided to visit the local Indian casino to see what had changed since my last visit. The last time I was in a casino was in late 2019, before the pandemic hit. The first difference was the facial temperature scanner that you have to pass before you can enter. Once […]
Reef of Riches Slot Review
I was at Mystic Lake Casino for a few hours last week and decided to play a few slot machines. I only had about $200, so I had to pick my games very carefully. After trying 4 or 5 penny slots, nothing was hitting and I was getting frustrated. I saw a pirate themed 3D […]
Indian Casino Action
Indian Casinos in Wisconsin and Minnesota seem to be doing well. Most are expanding and adding more attractions this year. Unfortunately, that means they are still collecting our hard earned money in exchange for less than expected payouts. Reaching the bonus round on a slot machine used to mean a nice $100+ payout. Now the […]
2013 Racing Season Starting Soon
The 2013 horse racing season is only about six weeks away here in Minnesota. Canterbury Park has it’s first race scheduled for May 17, 2013. I can’t say that the start of the 2013 gaming season for me has been very good so far. I’ve been to the casino about four times and only recall […]
Mystic Slots
Mystic Lake Casino is known for having some of the tightest slots in the state. But, if you go there as often as I do, you can start to find the machines that payout more often. But, don’t get your hopes up. You will still be lucky if you break even. They couldn’t afford to […]
Grand Casino Hinckley
We went to check out the Grand Casino in Hinckely, MN this weekend. I had heard that it was easier to win at this casino than some of the others in Minnesota, but that wasn’t the case for us. It’s just like any other casino, if you play long enough, you are going to loose […]
Mystic Lake Derby
This Saturday I was at Canterbury Park for the first running of the Mystic Lake Derby. There was a seven horse field looking to take the $150,000 purse. It was a very close match and extremely hard to pick a winner. Unfortunately, there was a dispute between the 1st and 2nd place horses. The replay […]
Canterbury Declares Special Dividend
Despite the fact that Canterbury Park has made an agreement with Mystic Lake Casino and declared a 25 cent per share special dividend (payable on July 12 to shareholders of record on June 28), the stock price has been dropping lately. The headlines of the agreement state that the Mystic would pay Canterbury 75 million […]
Quick Hit at Little Six
There was great weather this Saturday at the horse track, but I only had one exacta win in seven races. Fortunately, that was enough to recover all of my bets and leave me $16 ahead for the day. A lot of long shots were coming in and some days that’s the way it goes. Next […]
