Guests can play bingo and slots on same tablet.

The Treasure Island Resort & Casino in Minnesota on Wednesday said it has introduced a new electronic gaming feature in its high-stakes bingo hall.

Casino officials said guests can use Video King gaming tablets to play live bingo and real slot games simultaneously on the same electronic device.

Michael Jankoviak, director of casino operations for the property, said Treasure Island is the only casino in the area offering this game.

“Treasure Island has consistently led the way in offering the highest level of entertainment, recreation and gaming experiences for our guests,” he said in a statement. “We could not be more excited to offer yet another exclusive option in gaming technology.”

The new electronic bingo tablets automatically track bingo cards and wins in real time, Jankoviak continued. The video slots featured include Crystal Warrior, Devil’s Choice and Neanderthal Nation.

Guests can purchase up to $1,000 in slot play and can reload slot play onto their account at any time during their bingo session.

Slot game denominations include 1 cent, 2 cents and 3 cents, with bets ranging from 20 cents to $9 per spin. There is no cap for the top prize, and guests can cash out at any time.

The Prairie Island Indian Community owns and operates Treasure Island Resort & Casino, Mount Frontenac Golf Course and Dakota Station. Treasure Island is the only casino in southern Minnesota located on the Mississippi River.

Treasure Island said its 788-room hotel is the second-largest hotel in Minnesota.
