Canterbury Park Promotions
Sing this casino does not offer any type of video gaming machines it is hard to offer a players club because most casinos with a players club go off of a points program where players will earn a certain amount of points and then cash them out for comps, cash or discounts at the restaurants. There are however monthly promotions that are available all the time. There is a players club here called Poker MVP Rewards which offers cash back on poker rewards with $1 per hour and $1.50 per hour on $15/$30 or higher.
Canterbury Park has a very large poker room with plenty of varying stakes poker games available. I was there on a Saturday night, and I didn't have to wait to get on a table. What I really like about Canterbury Park is there are no slot machines, so when you're there you don't constantly hear the noises emitted incessantly by slot machines.

A total of 35 days with maiden special purses of $22,000 and bottom level maiden claimers offered $8,200.
Opening day has eight races, five on dirt and three on a turf course that can be used for several weeks yet if Mother Nature cooperates. First post is 3:10 p.m. A total of 87 horses were entered for an average field size of 10.87. Combine that with large handle and the betting opportunities abound.
A number of Canterbury trainers migrated to Hawthorne including leading trainer Joel Berndt,
