With 4,100 employees, the SMSC – including Mystic Lake Casino Hotel and Little Six Casino – is the largest employer in Scott County. The casino's gambling options include slots, bingo, video roulette, pulltabs, and live dealer blackjack. Mystic Lake also offers bars, restaurants, shows, special events, and accommodations. Rampadarat enjoyed playing slots at the Mystic Lake Casino from 2001 to 2005. On his Minnesota income tax returns for each year, he filed as a professional gambler. Under Minnesota Tax Law, a professional gambler includes gambling losses in the Alternative Minimum Tax formula, but a recreational gambler cannot. And Mystic Lake, which is among the first of a number of nonessential businesses opening up again, is putting some of the strictest safeguards in place. Besides mandated temperature-taking and mask-wearing, the casino will enforce social distancing, install plexiglass shields and ramp up sanitization of surfaces to protect employees and guests. Mystic Lake Casino Hotel is a casino that offers nonstop gaming action, dining, drinks and entertainment services.

Mystic Lake Casino Hotel is owned and operated by the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) in Prior Lake, Minnesota, United States, southwest of Minneapolis and Saint Paul. With 4,100 employees^[1], the SMSC – including Mystic Lake Casino Hotel and Little Six Casino – is the largest employer in Scott County.^[2] The casino's gambling options include slots, bingo, video roulette, pulltabs, and live dealer blackjack. Mystic Lake also offers bars, restaurants, shows, special events, and accommodations^[3].

History[edit]

Mystic Lake Casino Hotel is owned and operated by the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC), a federally recognized, sovereign Indian tribe.

The SMSC opened Little Six Bingo in 1982, which became Little Six Casino in 1990 following the passage of the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 and the signing of a gaming compact between the SMSC and the State of Minnesota. The SMSC and other Minnesota tribes were the first in the United States to negotiate and sign tribal-state compacts with a state government related to gaming.^[4]

Mystic Lake Casino Hotel opened in 1992. It is named after the nearby lake of the same name. Its success has helped fund SMSC goals, including economic diversification and improvements to tribal infrastructure and services from the 1990s to the present.

In 2012 the SMSC initiated a 10-year cooperative agreement with Canterbury Park in neighboring Shakopee, Minnesota, to support increased purses for live horse races and joint marketing opportunities between Canterbury Park and Mystic Lake.^[5] In 2013, the first full racing season under the agreement, Canterbury Park completed its longest season since 2006, with a purse distribution that was double the amount paid out to the horse owners in 2011.^[6]

In 2018 Mystic Lake Center opened, the newest addition to Mystic Lake Casino Hotel. The 70,000-square-foot meeting and event space accommodates groups of all sizes for a range of meetings and events – from business meetings to holiday parties to conferences and expos to weddings. Mystic Lake Center has a nine-story, 180-room hotel tower; three large ballrooms with flexible layouts; several smaller meeting rooms and an executive conference room; and plenty of natural light and stunning golf course views^[7].

With 766 hotel rooms, Mystic Lake Casino Hotel is one of the largest hotels in the Twin Cities metro area. ^[8]

Awards[edit]

The SMSC Gaming Enterprise, which includes Mystic Lake and Little Six, received a 'Best Places to Work' award from the Minneapolis-Saint PaulBusiness Journal in 2012^[9] and 2013,^[10] and a 'Top 100 Workplaces' award from the Minneapolis Star Tribune in 2013.^[11]
