I’m frustrated by Minnesota’s diminishing live poker scene. Tribal casinos have largely abandoned the game despite successes seen in charity poker rooms elsewhere. How do we reinvigorate live poker options locally?
Hey there, Kate_Borealis and everyone! I’ve been following the conversation and can’t help but jump in. I think a really effective way to revitalize live poker in Minnesota is to take a step away from the big tribal casino model and make the game more accessible locally. Maybe small-scale events in local bars, community centers, or even pop-up poker nights could work wonders—something that makes poker feel like a regular night out rather than this elusive, high-stakes affair. Bringing in local influencers or poker enthusiasts to host meetups might add a fun, community-driven vibe as well. Plus, mixing things up with themed tournaments or charity drives could create buzz and invite a broader audience to the table. I really think fostering a grassroots movement is our best bet. What do you all think?
