"There's no doubt that gambling initiatives of various kinds will crank up in the Legislature over the next four months, from racino proposals to expanding in-bar charitable gaming.

As that unfolds, the profile of Chairman Stanley R. Crooks of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community is on the rise, too. Crooks' tribe operates Mystic Lake Casino in Prior Lake.

Global Gaming Business Magazine has named Crooks to its list of “25 People to Watch.”

In the article, the magazine editors state: “While the process of recovery for the gaming industry seems to have begun, it’s a long way from being accomplished ... These people are the best and the brightest ... So sit back and check out who will play a role in the recovery, comeback, and turnaround of the gaming industry during the next year.”"
