Canterbury
Park remains committed to winning legislative approval of new gaming,
such as slot machines and video poker, in order to increase purses
for live racing and make important investments in Minnesota's horse
industry.
Despite inaction on the Racino, gaming in Minnesota continues to
expand. In the last several years, internet wagering on horse racing
and card games has exploded, tribal casinos have opened poker rooms,
and local bars received the authority to sponsor Texas Hold'em tournaments.
While our competitors have been expanding their operations, Canterbury
Park continues to be restricted in the number and types of games
we can provide.
