They're the Minnesota Vikings, and the law that funds the public contribution to their new stadium covers the whole state.

But the actual landscape of the new games is another story: the money is concentrated, at least according to the most recent data available, mostly around the Interstate 94 corridor.

Below, you'll find a map of the games in February, built with data from the Minnesota Gambling Control Board. Red markers reflect bars that DON'T make the state's $225 per day per machine projection. Green markers show the bars that DO make the projection, and the blue markers show the bars that are in the state's Top 10.

Click on each marker to see the name of the bar, its location, who supplies its games, how many devices the location hosts, and what the daily "handle" was, per machine, per day, in the most recent data available.
