Like the ol' saying goes, I got news for you and I got bad news for you, and I will let you decide which is which.

Sarting July 1 2003, Northern Lights Casino (Walker MN) becomes the second Indian Casino in the state (Shoorting Star being the other) and the third place total (Canterberry downs being ONLY a card room - but they are trying to get slots in) to offer Poker on a daily basis.

No new chips - yet (I talked to the poker room manager and he said it was not in this years budget - which also started 1 July).

They will be converting their slot machines over to coinless/tokenless soon.

Other Indian casinos may now introduce poker as well. Hopefully, these casinos will have the budget for new chips.
