Establishes "mobile devices" (cellular phones or tablets with board-approved applications) as a new form of lawful gambling in Minnesota, alongside existing games like bingo, raffles, and pull-tabs.

Creates "remote games" playable on mobile devices by state residents within Minnesota borders, with games consisting of random-chance drawings that occur once per hour with a maximum wager of one dollar per player per hour.

Requires the Minnesota Gambling Control Board to develop rules for application manufacturers to contract with licensed organizations and establishes an independent gambling manager position responsible for compliance with state gambling laws.

Mandates that remote game operators pair with licensed organizations under chapter 349A, with winning proceeds deposited directly to winners' accounts and reporting requirements established by the board.

Prohibits offering any remote game not expressly authorized by the board, making violations a felony subject to penalties of up to $1,000 per day that an unauthorized game was offered or wagers were accepted.
