Seven Clans Casino Red Lake opened in 2009 on the Red Lake Nation's reservation, about thirty miles north of Bemidji. It rates 3.9 from around 950 Google reviewers.
It is the smallest and newest of the Nation's three casinos, and the one built around bingo rather than machines.
The bingo hall
The bingo hall seats 600 — an enormous room relative to a gaming floor of this size, and by some distance the largest thing on the property.
Bingo runs on Sunday afternoons. That is a specific commitment rather than a daily operation, so plan around it: a Tuesday visit and a Sunday visit are entirely different experiences here.
A 600-seat hall in a community this size tells you what the property is for. This is a social venue for the Red Lake Nation and the surrounding area first, and a casino second.
What's on the floor
More than 300 slot machines, including video poker, video keno and progressives, plus Vegas-style blackjack.
That is a genuinely small floor — a third of the machine count at the Nation's Thief River Falls property. Check the venue's site for the current blackjack schedule; with a pit this size the tables run on set hours rather than continuously.
Hotel, dining and events
The hotel runs 40 rooms, located close to the casino floor and next to the gift shop. Forty rooms is small enough that it books out around events, so reserve ahead.
The Warriors Grill serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The property added an events centre that hosts concerts and other events — a meaningful addition in a part of Minnesota with few comparable venues.
Tips before you go
The casino is open 24 hours, seven days a week. The bingo hall is not — it runs Sunday afternoons.
Minnesota tribal casinos generally admit players from 18, though individual properties set their own rules and areas serving alcohol are often 21-plus. Confirm with the venue before travelling.
Red Lake is about half an hour north of Bemidji, in the lake country of northern Minnesota. If you are travelling any distance, check the events calendar first — a concert night or a bingo Sunday is worth timing a visit around, and a quiet weekday is not worth the drive on its own.
Nearby alternatives
