Electronic gambling showing signs of turnaround
After a sluggish start, electronic pulltabs and bingo are showing signs of a turnaround in Minnesota. Sales are up nearly 50 percent statewide since January, thanks in part to bigger payouts, better technology and fresher games.
That’s welcome news to charities that operate games, and means gambling taxes might pay for a substantial portion of the state’s commitment to the new Minnesota Vikings stadium after all.
