There were many supporters of sports gambling who figured that as soon as the Supreme Court decided that gambling was going to be an option across the nation, Minnesota would be one of the first states to legalize it. While the May 2018 decision by the Court came too late for the Minnesota legislature to pass a bill in the 2018 session, there were high hopes that it would be taken up as soon as the legislative session started in January. However, that has not happened yet. Luckily for fans of sportsbooks, it appears that negotiations have begun that would allow Minnesota to join the ranks of the states that have legalized sports betting.
