Running Aces Casino and Racetrack in Columbus, Minnesota has recently added Mystic Lake Casino and Little Six Casino to their ongoing lawsuit against unauthorized gaming operators.
The lawsuit, originally filed in May 2020, accuses various companies of operating unauthorized games that allegedly violate Minnesota gaming laws. Running Aces claims that these operators have been accepting bets on games such as blackjack, poker, and slot machines without the proper approval from the state.
According to court documents, Running Aces is seeking damages for lost revenue and unfair competition caused by these unauthorized games. The addition of Mystic Lake and Little Six to the lawsuit comes after Running Aces allegedly discovered that these casinos were also offering unauthorized gaming options.
The lawsuit has garnered attention throughout the state, as Running Aces has been a prominent player in the Minnesota gaming industry for many years. The casino and racetrack have expressed concern that these unauthorized games could impact their business and the integrity of the state’s gaming regulations.
In response to the lawsuit, Mystic Lake and Little Six have denied the allegations, stating that they have always operated within the boundaries of Minnesota gaming laws. Both casinos have emphasized their commitment to compliance with state regulations and have vowed to vigorously defend themselves in court.
This development poses a significant challenge for the Minnesota gaming industry, as it highlights the ongoing debate over what constitutes legal gaming operations in the state. With the rise of online and unauthorized gaming options, casinos like Running Aces are increasingly concerned about maintaining a fair and competitive gaming environment.
As the lawsuit progresses, industry experts are closely watching for any potential implications on the future of gaming in Minnesota. The outcome of this case could have far-reaching effects on how casinos operate in the state and the regulation of unauthorized gaming activities.
For now, Running Aces remains determined to pursue legal action against the unauthorized gaming operators, with Mystic Lake and Little Six now at the center of this high-stakes legal battle. As the case continues to unfold, the Minnesota gaming industry may face significant changes that could shape its future for years to come.
