Federal Government Officially Approves Minnesota Tribe's Blackjack Dreams
Published Date: 12/15/2025
Notice
Summary
The Lower Sioux Community in Minnesota can now officially offer Class III blackjack and other card games on their reservation starting December 15, 2025. This change happened automatically because the government didn’t act within 45 days, so the new gaming rules are approved by default. It means more fun and potential money for the tribe without any delays or extra costs.

Lower Sioux Authorized to Operate Blackjack
The Lower Sioux Community in Minnesota is permitted to operate Class III blackjack and other Class III card games on its reservation starting December 15, 2025. The amendment was considered approved by operation of law because the Secretary of the Interior did not act within the 45-day review period required by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.
