Gambling Manager Seminar

Each month, the Minnesota Gambling Control Board conducts an in-person, two-day gambling manager seminar that provides information on the conduct of gambling, maintaining inventory, how you can spend your money, internal controls, and reporting. The second day of the seminar concludes with an exam. Gambling manager applicants are required to pass the exam prior to licensure. Those not seeking licensure (CEOs, sellers, law enforcement, etc.) are not required to take the exam, but are welcome to do so if desired.

The two-day seminar is held monthly on a Wednesday and Thursday, from 8am-4:30pm, at the Roseville GCB office. Pre-registration for the seminar is required. Interested persons should contact their county’s Licensing Specialist for the specific dates the seminar will be offered and to register.

Who must attend?

For a new organization:

  • the current CEO (chief executive officer), and 
  • the person who will be the gambling manager.

For a currently licensed organization:

  • All gambling manager changes require the applicant to attend the gambling manager seminar and pass the exam prior to licensure. 
  • For an emergency gambling manager change, training and passing the exam must be completed within 90 days of being issued a license.
