*Shakopee Mdewakanton Tribe Casino EntertainmentThe Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community won’t be facing a lawsuit in connection with a failed entertainment venue at its casino in Minnesota. The tribe pulled the plug on Club Nomadic last month after saying the venue didn’t meet its standards. The promoters responded by filing a complaint in federal court, alleging breach of contract and other claims. But Club Nomadic ’voluntarily’ withdrew the case on Monday. The move came exactly a week after a federal judge questioned whether the lawsuit would have overcome the tribe’s sovereign immunity, The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported. Nomadic had been given seven days ’show cause, if any, why this action should not be dismissed for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction,’ according to Judge Joan N. Ericksen’s January 30 order. The 64,000 square-foot venue had been billed as a major attraction at the Mystic Lake Casino Hotel. It was being built to host a number of high-profile concerts during Super Bowl LII, which took place in nearby Minneapolis on Sunday. Most of the shows went on as promised but they were moved into the casino. The tribe recently debuted a $90 million expansion of the casino. The project features a nine-story hotel and the Mystic Lake Center, a 70,000 square-foot meeting and event space where some of the shows took place. Read More on the Story:

During the 1990s, the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community continued its transformation from an economically distr essed reservation to one of the most economically success-ful Indian tribes in the United States. It’s estimated that the Shakopee Mdewakanton tribe – the owners of Mystic Lake Casino Hotel and Little Six Casino – bring in more that $1 billion each year in revenue. With fewer than 500 members. While the Shakopee tribe continues to prosper, all is not coming up aces, the story says. Casino gambling in much of Indian Country is now under threat by many types of potential gambling.

A Minnesota horse racing track is getting a major financial boost from a former competitor.
The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community says it will spend $75 million over the next decade to subsidize prize purses at nearby Canterbury Park. In return, Canterbury has agreed to oppose any legislative effort to establish trackside casinos, known as racinos. Derby lane poker.

’Canterbury Park will no longer seek authority to operate a racino, and we will ask our legislative authors to stand down on the issue,’ Sampson said. ’To be clear we will oppose new forms of gaming that are inconsistent with the intent of this agreement.’
That means Canterbury Park will oppose not only racinos, but any other plan to expand gambling in the Twin Cities.
Sampson said Canterbury’s goal never was to operate a casino, just a first-class horse-racing facility. But that’s been difficult, he said, because with purses down it’s hard to attract the best horses and jockeys. However, he said if the state racing commission approves the agreement with the tribe, purses will more than double within a few years.
’With the ability to pay competitive purses, we’re looking at having world-class racing here in just a few years,’ Sampson said.
Canterbury has long looked to the legislature to help enrich purses. Legislation signed last month by Gov. Mark Dayton allows horse tracks to add more card tables and casinos to simulcast horse races. As the legislation moved through, Canterbury Park and the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community began working on this multimillion-dollar agreement.
The tribe only opposed expanding gambling at the track, and never horse racing itself, said Edward Stevenson, president and CEO of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community Gaming Enterprise.
He said the deal, though large, is not a buyout but will help promote the southwest Twin Cities metro as a gambling destination.
’On a good race day at Canterbury Park, we’d anticipate 10,000 to 12,000 fans,’ Stevenson said. ’We’re hoping that when they finish enjoying a day at the races, they’ll come back down to Mystic Lake or Little Six casino and enjoy themselves there. So, obviously there’s a cross-marketing opportunity.Shakopee Mdewakanton Tribe Casinos
The tribe will spend $8.5 million over 10 years on joint marketing with Canterbury Park, Stevenson said.
But a representative of Minnesota’s other horse track is wary of the deal.
’Mdewakanton has controlled the state now for 15 years, and now they’re buying off some of the competition, said Dick Day, a lobbyist for Running Aces Harness Park in the north metro and a longtime supporter of racinos.
Day says the deal between Canterbury and the tribe is bad for Minnesota taxpayers because it will make expanded gambling, as well as the accompanying tax revenue, less likely.
’In this deal, how do Minnesotans come out? I guess they have a horse racing track that’ll have better horses, and that’s good,’ Day said. ’But basically you still have the monopoly that’s in place that probably just got stronger.’Shakopee Mdewakanton Tribe Casino Jobs
The deal needs approval from the Racing Commission, but Day said Running Aces will not try to oppose it. He said Running Aces could still make a similar agreement of its own with an Indian casino in northern Minnesota.
While representatives at both Canterbury Park and the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community say they’ll be glad to spend less money lobbying state lawmakers, both say it will still be necessary to fight off competition and protect their newly shared turf.Shakopee Mdewakanton Tribe Casino Entertainment
