The Windbreak

Fargo, North Dakota’s gambling scene is small but vibrant – located as it is hundreds of miles from any nearby legal casino-style gambling, Fargo is its own little hot spot in the middle of the American Midwest.

The Windbreak is a live music venue and activity center first and foremost, with a few tables for blackjack play thrown in to increase local interest. North Dakota’s gaming law is such that a venue like The Windbreak, usually home to local and regional touring bands and comedians, can open up a half-dozen blackjack and card tables and still be on the right side of the law. The Windbreak is an oddity in American casino gambling, in that the venue is primarily a concert hall and bar.
