While we know it doesn’t always pay off, many of us here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes are willing to play the odds and plunk down a few dollars on some form of gaming or gambling. According to this Gambling in Minnesota study from the Department of Human Services, over two-thirds of Minnesota adults enjoy taking part in some form of gambling.
Specifically, nearly 67 percent of Minnesotans in the survey reported gambling over the past year, including purchasing lottery tickets and participating in other gaming activities. A smaller percentage reported heading to one of Minnesota’s casinos; about 15 percent reported that they gambled at a casino or other venue at least once in the past year, the survey noted.
