The number you are looking for is not published as a fixed figure
Little Six Casino in Prior Lake, Minnesota, does not have a slot machine count that this article can state. Publicly published reference sources for this venue document its location, its opening history, and its owner, but no slot machine total appears in those sources. Any number you see on a third-party site is either outdated, an estimate, or copied from a page that has since changed.
Casino floor counts are not static. Machines are moved, removed, added, and replaced as a property rebuilds or reconfigures its gaming floor. A figure printed last year may not describe the floor today, and a figure printed today may not describe it next quarter.
What is documented about Little Six Casino
Little Six Casino sits in Prior Lake, Minnesota, southwest of the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area. Its coordinates place it at 44.7362 latitude and -93.4728 longitude. The venue is owned and operated by the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community in Prior Lake, Minnesota.
The property's documented history begins in 1982, when the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community opened Little Six Bingo. The venue became Little Six Casino in 1990, following the passage of the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 and the signing of a gaming compact between the SMSC and the State of Minnesota. These dates come from publicly published reference sources and describe the property's development, not its current configuration.

Why slot machine counts are hard to compare across venues
Even when a casino does publish a machine count, comparing that number to another casino's count is rarely apples-to-apples. Properties count their floors differently, and the definitions behind a published total are often not stated alongside the number.
- Electronic table games: Some venues count electronic blackjack, roulette, or craps terminals as slot machines. Others list them separately. A total that includes electronic table games will be higher than one that does not, even for the same physical floor.
- Offline or stored machines: A property may own more machines than it has on the floor at any moment. Machines awaiting repair, held in storage, or rotated out for maintenance may or may not be included in a published count.
- Reconfiguration: When a casino removes a bank of machines to expand a restaurant, add a bar, or widen an aisle, the count drops. When it adds a new section, the count rises. Neither change is necessarily announced as a headline.
For Little Six Casino specifically, no slot machine total appears in the publicly published reference sources available for this article. The honest answer to the query is that the number is not documented here, and the reader should treat any unattributed figure with skepticism.
Where the current number would come from
If a current slot machine count exists, it would be published by the property itself or by the gaming authority that oversees the venue's operations. Casinos sometimes list floor counts in press releases about expansions, in regulatory filings, or in responses to direct inquiries. None of those channels are quoted in this article.
A reader who needs a precise, current figure should contact the venue's guest services or public relations office directly and ask for the number of slot machines currently on the gaming floor. The answer may still be approximate, because the floor changes from week to week as machines are swapped, serviced, or moved between sections.
Straight-line distances to reference cities
Little Six Casino's fixed position allows straight-line distance measurements to other documented locations. These are great-circle distances, not driving miles. Road travel is always longer than the figures below, and this article does not publish road mileage or driving times.
| Reference location | Straight-line distance from Little Six Casino | Measurement type |
|---|---|---|
| Minneapolis | 19.7 miles | Great-circle, not driving |
| Milwaukee | 298.6 miles | Great-circle, not driving |
| Chicago | 353.8 miles | Great-circle, not driving |
| Kansas City | 393.6 miles | Great-circle, not driving |
| St. Louis | 454.6 miles | Great-circle, not driving |
| Detroit | 547.6 miles | Great-circle, not driving |
| Tulsa | 608.4 miles | Great-circle, not driving |
| Oklahoma City | 674.9 miles | Great-circle, not driving |
| Denver | 681.9 miles | Great-circle, not driving |
| Toronto | 701.2 miles | Great-circle, not driving |
The venue's position in the southwest metro area of Minneapolis–Saint Paul places it closest to Minneapolis among the documented reference points, at 19.7 miles straight-line. That figure describes geographic proximity only and says nothing about travel time, road conditions, or the route a driver would take.
What to confirm before you go
If the slot machine count is part of a decision to visit, the reader should confirm the current figure through the venue's own channels before travelling. The property's website, guest services desk, or a direct inquiry to its public relations office are the appropriate channels. Third-party review sites, forum posts, and older articles frequently carry numbers that no longer match the floor.
Beyond the machine count, a visitor should confirm the items that change regularly and are not documented in this article: current operating hours, any age or entry restrictions, parking arrangements, and whether specific sections of the gaming floor are open. None of those details are published in the reference sources used here, and none should be assumed from a venue's historical profile.
FAQ
Does Little Six Casino publish its slot machine count?
No slot machine count for Little Six Casino appears in the publicly published reference sources available for this article. The venue's documented profile covers its location, opening history, and ownership, but not its current machine total. Any figure circulating online should be treated as unverified unless it comes directly from the property or its regulator.
Why do different sources list different slot machine counts for the same casino?
Different sources may count machines at different times, include or exclude electronic table games, or rely on outdated figures. Casinos reconfigure their floors regularly, so a count from one year will not match a count from another. Without a stated measurement date and definition, two published numbers for the same venue cannot be directly compared.
How far is Little Six Casino from Minneapolis?
The straight-line distance from Little Six Casino to Minneapolis is 19.7 miles, measured as a great-circle distance between documented coordinates. Road distance is longer, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel times. A driver should consult a current map or routing tool for the actual road route.
