Answer: 

All gaming activity involves risk and the outcome of any one play, or series of plays, is completely random. Payout percentages are over the expected life of a gaming device.

Class II: Payout percentages* are set solely by the tribe and any changes to them are approved by tribal regulators.

Class III: Per the Arizona Tribal-State Gaming Compact, minimum payout percentages for Class III gaming are set at 80 to 83 percent. This means that a machine must return 80 to 83 percent of wagers over the expected life of the machine. If at any time a Class III casino wishes to alter the payout percentage, it must receive approval from the respective TGO (Tribal Gaming Office), and notify ADG of the change. The machines that have been changed must stay out of play until inspected by both ADG and the TGO to make sure it still is meeting all requirements.
