Who regulates casinos in Arizona?
Answer:
A Class II facility is regulated by the tribe that owns it, with oversight by the National Indian Gaming Commission. ADG has no jurisdiction over Class II gaming facilities.
All Class III casinos are regulated by both the Tribal Gaming Office of the tribe that owns the casino and by ADG in accordance with the Arizona Tribal-State Gaming Compact (Compact). The Compact specifies detailed procedures for casino operations. All Class III casinos are required to complete an extensive checklist, and must receive certification from ADG before opening for business. These casinos are subject to both annual compliance and financial audits by ADG to ensure compliance with the Compact.
