The number you are asking for is not a fixed fact
A slot machine count is a moving figure. Casinos add machines, remove machines, convert floor space, and reclassify electronic table games, so any single published number describes a point in time, not a permanent condition. Little Six Casino in Prior Lake, Minnesota, is no exception. The publicly published reference sources that document this venue record its opening year, its owner, and its location, but they do not supply a current machine count that this article can responsibly repeat.
What can be documented is the venue itself. Little Six Casino opened as Little Six Bingo in 1982 and became Little Six Casino in 1990, after the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 and a gaming compact between the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community and the State of Minnesota. The owner of record is the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community, based in Prior Lake, Minnesota, southwest of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area.
Why a slot count changes and what defines it
A casino floor is not a static object. The number of slot machines on it shifts with renovation, seasonal layout changes, replacement of older cabinets, and the introduction or removal of electronic table games. Some properties count electronic table game seats as slot machines in published totals; others count only standalone reel and video slots. That definitional difference alone can move a reported figure by dozens or hundreds of units without a single physical machine being added or removed.
When a reader sees a slot count in a directory, a news article, or a state filing, the number reflects the counting method and the date of the count. Neither is always printed next to the figure. That is why this article treats the question as a structural one: the honest answer is not a number, but an explanation of where a current number comes from and why it will not match every other number the reader finds.
| What changes | Why it changes | Where the current answer lives |
|---|---|---|
| Number of slot machines on the floor | Additions, removals, floor reconfiguration, cabinet replacement | Property's own published facility information or a direct inquiry to guest services |
| Whether electronic table games are counted as slots | Different reporting conventions | The document or page that states the figure, if it discloses its method |
| Total gaming floor area | Expansion, renovation, reallocation of space | Property fact sheet or regulatory filing |
Where Little Six Casino sits
The venue is in Prior Lake, Minnesota, with documented coordinates of 44.7362 latitude and -93.4728 longitude. That places it southwest of Minneapolis-Saint Paul. The straight-line distance to Minneapolis is 19.7 miles. Straight-line distance is not road distance; driving is always longer, and this article does not publish road mileage or driving times.
For readers planning travel, the useful reference points are the straight-line distances to other cities. These figures are great-circle measurements between documented coordinates, not driving routes.

What the documented facts do and do not include
The publicly published reference sources used for this article record three facility facts: the venue opened in 1982, it is owned and operated by the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community in Prior Lake, Minnesota, and it is located southwest of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area. Those are the only venue-specific figures this article can state. No documented slot machine count, table game count, hotel room count, or gaming floor area is available in the reference set, so none is stated here.
That absence is not unusual. Facility figures like machine counts and floor area are revised as properties are rebuilt and expanded, and a directory that records a count today may be out of date within a season. A reader who needs a current number should treat any printed figure as dated and confirm it through the property's own published materials.
How to find the current slot machine count
The authoritative current answer lives with the venue itself. A casino's own facility page, a media kit, or a direct inquiry to guest services will state the number the property currently operates, and will usually state whether that number includes electronic table games. A state gaming authority may also publish facility data, but the counting method and the date of the filing matter more than the raw figure.
Before relying on any number, a reader should confirm three things: the date the figure was published, whether the figure counts standalone slots only or also includes electronic table game positions, and whether the figure describes the entire property or only one floor or section. Those three checks turn a directory number into something usable.
What to confirm before you go
If the slot count matters to a decision about visiting, confirm it through the property's own published facility information or guest services. The number can change between a directory's publication and the day of a visit, and the property is the only source that can state its current floor configuration.
Also confirm the venue's current operating status and any access requirements through the property's own channels. This article does not publish hours, entry policies, or current operating status, because those are live facts that change and belong to the venue's own published pages.
