"One of the truly tremendous economic success stories in our state's modern history has been largely ignored. When the state entered into agreements with Minnesota's tribes nearly 15 years ago, a great deal of attention focused on the state's potential financial interest in horse racing and the state lottery.
Few observers gave a second thought to the other side of the bargain struck between the state and the tribes -- the economic potential for casinos on Indian reservations. As it turned out, the deal allowing the establishment of casinos that came out of the tribal gaming compacts has proven to be highly successful for most tribes and many other Minnesotans as well."
