Oklahoma has more Indian casinos than any other state in the nation.

These 143 gambling locations include Class III casinos with vegas-style gambling, Class II casinos with no-banker electronic gaming, travel plazas with slot machines, and smoke shops with Indian gaming.
Oklahoma Indian gaming is the state's second largest industry. It is also the largest Indian gaming revenue in the country after California. Revenues from Indian gaming and casino construction in 2017 was $7.2 billion.
Oklahoma casinos are ranked 1 through 10 based on total number of slot machines, table games, and square footage of the gaming floor.
Minimum gambling ages are 21 years old for casinos, 18 years at tribal casinos without alcohol license, 21 for poker, 18 poker at tribal casinos without alcohol license, 16 for bingo, 18 for horse racing, 18 for the lottery.
All Indian gaming is governed by the U.S. Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) and regulated by the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC), an agency of the U.S. Department of Interior.
Casinos are built on tribal land or off-reservation land that has been placed in trust with the federal government. Prior to construction each tribe must negotiate a gaming compact with the state defining the games played at the casino, operating hours, and the share the revenue paid to the state.

Governor Kevin Stitt has announced a controversial sports betting plan that would authorize in-person betting inside tribal casinos and statewide mobile wagering through licensed operators.
[No Ads]Gov. Stitt unveils plan for sports betting in Oklahoma - Courtesy of KFOR Oklahoma's News 4, Nov 5, 2023. Available from YouTube
The Governor issued a statement following the release of his plan:
"I promised Oklahomans if we pursued sports betting, we would do it right - and this plan does just that. Thirty-five states have already legalized sports betting, and it'll be a great revenue stream for the state. Tribes will be able to add it onto their existing infrastructure, and Oklahomans can access it right from their phone."
- Gov. Kevin Stitt
SUMMARY OF GOV. STITT'S PLAN:
RETAIL
Retail betting would only be conducted inside casinos owned by federally recognized tribes.
Tribes would pay a 15% tax on in-person wager revenues.
MOBILE
Mobile sportsbook operators would pay an initial licensing fee of $500,000 and annual renewal fees of $100,000.
Mobile wagering would be taxed 20%.
The number of state-issued licenses was not defined in the plan.
The reaction to Gov. Stitt's plan has been controversial. Most state lawmakers and tribal leaders have reacted with surprise and skepticism.

Will 2023 be the year that Oklahoma joins 32 other states and legalizes sports betting? A new 2023 legislative proposal to establish in-person and online sports betting in Oklahoma has been entered in the legislature. At the same time, Gov. Stitt has expressed his openness to sports betting under reasonable conditions.
[No Ads]Legalizing Sports Betting in Oklahoma
Courtesy of The Oklahoma News Report, Dec 20 2022. Available from YouTube
2023 legislation to legalize sports betting was pre-filed in the Oklahoma legislature by State Rep. Ken Lutrel. The bill is similar to last year and includes these features:
In-person and online sports betting would be legalized at tribal casinos and racetracks.
The Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission would regulate all sports betting and license sportsbook operators.
Sportsbook revenues would be taxed by the state as follows:
4% will be paid on the first $5 million of annual gross revenues
5% on the next $5 million of annual gross revenue
6% of revenue above $10 million
Earlier this month Gov Kevin Stitt announced his support for sports betting with conditions:
"Let me be clear: I support sports betting in Oklahoma- provided that it's fair, transparent, and the state can maximize revenue potential to invest in top priorities, like education. More to come."

Last week the National Indian Gaming Association (NIGC) approved Class II mobile gaming on all Chickasaw Nation lands. Although Oklahoma law restricts online gaming, the state has no jurisdiction over Class II gaming on tribal lands.
The mobile gaming app will use geo-location to only accept players that are physically on the tribe's 1,230 square miles of reservation. The app will feature casino games but no sports betting. The Chickasaw Gaming Commission has not released any information regarding the introduction date.

If the NIGC grants similar authorization to the other Oklahoma gaming tribes, mobile gaming on tribal lands could operate across 43% of the entire state including Oklahoma City. That area includes a population of about 1.8 million residents. Oklahoma's total population is 4 million.
Class II gaming is regulated federal government rather than the state. Player bets enter a pool against other players. This is "bingo-style" gaming as opposed to Class III, or Vegas-style gaming, where bets are placed against the "house".

State Rep. Ken Luttrell, R-Ponca City, filed House Bill 3008 last Monday to amend tribal gaming compacts and allow sports betting inside Oklahoma casinos. Luttrell cites a report from the Oxford Economics Group that estimates sports betting will generate $240 million in new state tax revenues and create 3,000 jobs.

Matthew Morgan, chairman of the Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association, is pleased with the introduction of the bill. Morgan and Luttrell both acknowledge the final details of the bill need to be negotiated.
Governor Kevin Stitt's office released this statement, "Governor Stitt is open to any compact as long as it is a fair deal, enforceable, and provides the transparency and accountability all 4 million Oklahomans deserve."
If passed by the legislature and signed by the governor, Oklahoma sports betting could begin later this year.

Oklahoma's Indian gaming industry paid the state a record $167 million dollars for gaming revenues earned during the last fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The record earnings were achieved despite the temporary shutdowns for COVID-19.
Oklahoma receives a percentage of gaming revenues from 33 tribes operating 143 Indian casinos and gaming centers across 50 counties. The total amount paid each year by the Indian gaming industry covers a relatively small percentage of the state's budget. However, the gaming industry plays an important role in the state's economy with major expenditures in employment, education and social services. This financial impact is especially true in rural areas.

This the the Oklahoma Supreme Court rejected the casino gaming compacts negotiated last year by Gov. Kevin Stitt with the Kialegee Tribal Town and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians. The court ruled both compacts are invalid under Oklahoma law because their terms differed from the 2004 model gaming compact approved by voters and were not approved by a joint legislative committee.
The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled the same way last July against compacts negotiated by Gov. Stitt with the Comanche Nation and Otoe-Missouria Tribes.
Stitt claimed all Oklahoma gambling compacts approved by voters in 2004 had expired on Jan 1, 2020 and sought to renegotiate new terms. The court disagreed the premise and invalidated his efforts.

This week Gov. Kevin Stitt abandoned his fight with Oklahoma tribes over renewal of gaming compacts after a federal judge ruled the compacts had automatically renewed January 1, 2020.
Last July 28th Chief Judge Timothy DeGiusti of the Western District of Oklahoma ruled against Stitt's arguments in a lawsuit filed by the tribes. The judge declared that all compacts had renewed automatically at the first of the year.
The compacts are revenue-sharing agreements between the State and 35 tribes that operate Vegas-style (Class III) slots and table games. Gov. Stitt believed the existing compacts expired at the end of last year and required renegotiation.
On October 23 Gov. Stitt announced he will not appeal the ruling. In a statement Stitt said:
"The U.S. District Court has ruled the Model Tribal Gaming Compacts automatically renewed for another 15 years. While I have chosen not to appeal this decision, I believe that the people of Oklahoma will demand a fair deal that benefits all 4 million Oklahomans
"I look forward to working with our Congressional delegation, state officials and Oklahoma's tribal nations to create an environment of fairness, clarity and unity that serves all 4 million Oklahomans."

On Sep. 15 the Oklahoma Supreme Court voted 5-1 to deny a rehearing requested by Gov. Kevin Stitt regarding the gaming compacts with the Comanche Nation and Otoe-Missouri Tribe. The same court ruled July 21 the two compacts were "invalid under Oklahoma law."
The Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association (OIGA) responded immediately to the court's decision:
"The Oklahoma Supreme Court denied Gov. Stitt's request for a rehearing of the petition filed by the pro tem and speaker, after declaring the agreements Gov. Kevin Stitt entered into with the Otoe-Missouria Tribe and Comanche Nation were invalid and unlawful. This denial of a rehearing further underscores that Gov. Stitt's go-it-alone approach is not legal nor helpful in moving state-tribal relationships forward."
- Chairman Matthew L. Morgan, OIGA Chairman
The governor's office also responded quickly with a reference to federal court:
"The validity of these compacts is now before the federal district court in Washington, D.C.," said. "The ruling in that case will determine the validity of the compacts under federal law."

This week the U.S. Interior Department approved two state-tribe gaming compacts recently signed by Gov. Kevin Stitt with the Kialegee Tribal Town (KTT) and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians (UKB).
A state-level decision on the validity of the two compacts is currently pending in the Oklahoma Supreme Court. The new compacts increase the fee rate paid to the state by the casinos on Class III gaming revenues from 6% to a high of 13%. Neither compact includes sports betting.
Official statement from Brian Givens, Kialegee Mekko:
"The Kialegee Tribal Town would like to thank Governor Kevin Stitt, his administration, the Great State of Oklahoma and the U.S. Department of Interior for the good faith in producing our new gaming compact. This compact, which was approved by operation of law, will allow the Kialegee Tribal Town the same opportunities others have had and could improve the economic landscape for the Tribal Town and tribal members. As an agreement between two sovereign entities, I see this act of good faith in continuing our relationship with the State of Oklahoma and look forward to future dialogue to improve our local communities."
Official statement from Chief Joe Bunch, United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians:
"It is a great day as we prepare to partner with the State of Oklahoma in this Class III gaming compact that will be good for Logan County, the State and the United Keetoowah Band. Our compact will help provide much needed resources to our tribe and surrounding communities as we continue to develop a robust economy and exercise our tribal sovereignty."

Comanche Nation and the Otoe-Missouria Tribe Compacts
Four Oklahoma tribes filed a lawsuit Aug 7 in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against the U.S. Department of Interior and Gov. Stitt alleging the April 2020 gaming compacts signed with the Comanche Nation and the Otoe-Missouria Tribe are a violation of federal law and therefore invalid under state law.
This lawsuit follows last month's ruling by the Oklahoma Supreme Court that these two compacts are invalid. It was filed by the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw and Citizen Potawatomi Nations.
The lawsuit reads:
"This lawsuit seeks reversal of the Defendant Secretary's arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful 'no action' approval under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act."
In a news release, the attorneys for the plantiff tribes explained the purpose:
"While the Oklahoma Supreme Court has declared those agreements invalid under Oklahoma law, their validity under Federal law must also be addressed to avoid damage to the integrity of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act."
United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians and Kialegee Tribal Town Compacts
Oklahoma House Speaker Charles McCall and Senate President Pro Tem Greg Treat had asked the Oklahoma Supreme Court to declare the UKB and Kialegee compacts invalid along with the Comanche and Otoe-Missouria compacts.
Last week attorneys for Gov. Stitt filed new documents with the Oklahoma Supreme Court contending the compacts signed with the UKB and Kialegee tribes should remain valid since they do not include the same provisions that the court objected to in the Comanche and the Otoe-Missouria compacts.
The new document filings say:
"(These gaming compacts) do not include sports betting or house-banked card and table games. The governor is vested with the authority to enter compacts which do not conflict with the STGA (State Tribal Gaming Act) and/or state criminal laws."

Yesterday a federal judge ruled in favor of the Oklahoma gaming tribes in their fight against Gov. Stitt over gaming compacts. The fundamental issue was whether or not the existing gaming compacts signed in 2004 renewed automatically last January 1st.
U.S. District Court Judge Timothy DeGiusti determined the compacts have automatically renewed and rejected Gov. Stitt's argument that the compacts were expired and required new gaming revenuesto be negotiated.
Both parties in the lawsuit released statements shortly after the court ruling.
Matthew Morgan, chair of the Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association said:
"We appreciated that the court moved quickly to confirm - the plain language of our intergovernmental agreements mean what they mean, and here, those words mean our gaming compacts automatically renewed January 1, 2020."
Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. added:
"Everything in our compact now remains the same, and we hope we can move forward and build a relationship built on respect with Gov. Stitt in the future."
Governor Kevin Stitt that confirmed his disappointment:
"It confirms my fears, and the fears of many fellow Oklahomans, that the State entered into a poorly negotiated deal and now we must bear the cost of this mistake. The federal court determined that the 2004 Gaming Compact auto renewed for 15 years because of an action taken by an agency's unelected board to reissue licenses for gaming at horse racing tracks."

In a ruling this week the Oklahoma Supreme Court declared the gaming compacts that were recently signed by Gov. Stitt with the Otoe-Missouri Tribe and Comanche Nation are "invalid under Oklahoma law."
The court acknowledged that the Governor has legal authority to negotiate gaming compacts with federally-recognized tribes in Oklahoma; however, his authority has limitations.
In a 7-1 decision, the high court ruled that the Gov. Stitt overstepped his authority by granting new forms of gambling in both compacts that are not approved by the state legislature. The compacts include unauthorized sports betting and unauthorized house-banked table and card games. Without legislative approval, the state is prohibited from any revenues from these games.
"The tribal gaming compacts Gov. Stitt entered into with the Comanche Nation and Otoe-Missouria Tribes are invalid under Oklahoma law."
"The State of Oklahoma is not and cannot be legally bound by those compacts until such time as the Legislature enacts laws to allow the specific Class III gaming at issue, and in turn, allowing the governor to negotiate additional revenue."

Two Oklahoma tribes have signed new gaming compacts with Gov. Stitt this month. United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians (UKB) signed July 1 and Kialegee Tribal Town (KTT) signed July 2. Both gaming agreements must next be approved by the U.S. Department of Interior.
At this time neither tribe owns a casino, and neither is a member of the Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association (OIGA).
UKB Gaming Compact Summary
This is a 15-year gaming agreement between the State of Oklahoma and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians (UKB) ending December 31, 2035.
The UKB is authorized to operate a casino in Logan County at a site within one mile of a state or federal highway or turnpike.
The UKB casino can operate Class II and Class III gaming. Sports betting is excluded.
The UKB will pay taxes to the State of Oklahoma based on gross gaming revenues. (See below)
Kialegee Gaming Compact Summary
This is a 15-year gaming agreement between the State of Oklahoma and the Kialegee Tribal Town ending December 31, 2035.
The Kialegee are authorized to open a casino in Oklahoma County at a site east of Choctaw Road and within one mile of a state or federal highway or turnpike.
The Kialegee casino can operate Class II and Class III gaming. Sports betting is excluded.
The Kialegee will pay taxes to the State of Oklahoma based on gross gaming revenues. (See below)
Taxes
Both tribes will pay the state a percentage of its gross gaming revenues (GRR).
The tribes will pay 12% of its GRR from slot machines during the first two years after opening their casinos. At the beginning of the third year the rate on slot machines increases to 13% GGR under $300M, 14% GGR for $300M and $500M, and 15% GGR above $500M.
Both tribes will pay an 18% exclusivity fee on revenue from nonhouse-banked blackjack, poker, roulette, craps and other card and table games.

Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the majority opinion stating:
"Today we are asked whether the land these treaties promised remains an Indian reservation for purposes of federal criminal law. Because Congress has not said otherwise, we hold the government to its word."
The Muscogee (Creek) Nation responded in a statement: "The Supreme Court today kept the United States' sacred promise to the Muscogee (Creek) Nation of a protected reservation. Today's decision will allow the Nation to honor our ancestors by maintaining our established sovereignty and territorial boundaries."
This Supreme Court decision will have major consequences for past, present and future court cases in eastern Oklahoma including Tulsa.

On Tuesday, Gov. Stitt signed new gaming compacts with the Comanche Nation and Otoe-Missouria Tribe which drew immediate rebuke from the top two legislative leaders in Oklahoma.
Senate President Pro Tem Greg Treat and House Speaker Charles McCall responded to the governor's actions in a letter Wednesday describing the two tribal gaming compacts as "unauthorized by law and void" without the approval of the Legislature.
Leaders Treat and McCall acknowledged the right of the governor to negotiate compacts, however any change in the types of casino gambling requires legislative approval. This includes sports betting. Their letter reminded the governor of the separation of powers, the Oklahoma Constitution and the state's Indian gaming statutes.
In separate statements both Treat and McCall agreed with Attorney General Hunter analysis that the compacts are not legally authorized under Oklahoma' Indian gaming laws because the governor.

Oklahoma AG Mike Hunter said in a written statement yesterday the new tribal gaming compacts signed between Gov. Stitt and the Comanche Nation and Otoe-Missouria Tribe are 'not authorized' under the state Tribal Gaming Act.
"The governor has the authority to negotiate compacts with the tribes on behalf of the state. However, only gaming activities authorized by the act may be the subject of a tribal gaming compact. Sports betting is not a prescribed 'covered game' under the act."

The Comanche Nation and Otoe-Missouria Tribe have signed new gaming compacts with Gov. Stitt and the State of Oklahoma.
[No Ads]Under terms of the new compacts, both tribes can each build one new off-reservation casino. The Comanche Nation can build their casino within a mile of a state or federal highway running through Cleveland County, and the Otoe-Missouria Tribe can build their casino within a mile of a state of federal highway running through Payne County.
In addition both tribes can now offer additional casino games and sports betting.
Gov. Stitt said, "Each gaming compact has unique elements to include individual flat-rate gaming fees on Class III games and covered games. This new fee structure recognizes the dynamic nature of each tribe's market share, recognizing their geographic location and access to population centers."
The new compacts can be read online here: Comanche Nation Compact (PDF) and Otoe-Missouria Tribe Compact (PDF). Both compacts require final approval from the federal government.

Oklahoma Tribes Reject Governor's New Offer
OIGA chairman Matthew Morgan said the governor was using the coronavirus casino closures to leverage his position against the tribes. He said
"The [offer] letter confirms the real intent of Governor Stitt is to destroy the tribal interest outlined in the existing compacts. The tribal leaders who received the letter reject the proposal as disrespectful and disingenuous."
"Now more than ever is the time for us to stand together."
Gov. Stitt's proposal calls for new compacts with a flat 5 percent tax on gambling revenues instead of the current 4-10 percent sliding scale. It also would authorize both the state and the tribes to offer sports gambling.
March 31st marks the end of three months since the dispute began between the governor and the tribes as to whether or not the compacts expired Jan. 1 or were automatically renewed.

In a federal court filing to join the lawsuit against Gov. Stitt over gaming compacts, the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes claim the Governor unintentionally triggered the automatic renewal of Oklahoma's gaming compacts when he signed extension agreements with two tribes last December.
The extension agreements were "purported" to extend the compact "expiration date(s)" from Jan. 1 to Aug. 31 for the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians and the Kialegee Tribal Town.
Under the terms of the compacts, the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes contend all compacts automatically renewed Jan. 1 if any "organization licensees or others are authorized to conduct electronic gaming in any form" at the time the compacts come up for renewal.
In their court filing Feb. 14 the tribes argued, "Gov. Stitt authorized the operation of electronic gaming in Oklahoma in any form on and after Jan. 1, 2020, nullifying any assertion against renewal for all compacting tribes".
The governor's communications director, Baylee Lakey, responded the next day. "All procedures concerning the two 8-month extensions were followed. We remain confident that the State has taken no action that triggers automatic renewal.
The Wichita and Affiliated Tribes are a federally recognized tribe made up of Wichita, Keechi, Waco, and Tawakoni members.

The National Congress of American Indians, which is the nation's largest Native American organization, has announced its strong support for the Oklahoma tribes fighting Gov. Stitt over renewal of gaming compacts.
In the 18th annual State of Indian Nations address, President Fawn Sharp warned of a "direct threat to the sovereignty" of the Oklahoma tribes.
"The National Congress of American Indians, our delegates and members, we stand with those tribes that are facing a direct threat and annihilation to their sovereignty through this compact dispute," she said. "When the tribal nations succeed in putting the state of Oklahoma in its place, we will be standing right there with them."
NCAI Chief Executive Officer Kevin Allis added: "This is nothing new to Indian County, right? When the other side wants to breach their duty and responsibility in a contractual agreement? This is nothing new to the tribes in Oklahoma, and they're handling this just right."
This year's State of Indian Nations address was hosted by George Washington University in Washington, D.C.

Both parties must submit a list of three potential mediators for quick selection by the court.
Within 21 days after the appointment of the mediator, both parties must submit a status report to the court.

During a Capitol forum last Thursday, state leaders were asked about the tribal gaming compacts by The Associated Press.
HOUSE SPEAKER CHARLES McCALL
House Speaker Charles McCall, R-Atoka, believes the tribal gaming compacts automatically renewed on Jan. 1. He said, "In my opinion, the compact has renewed for another 15 years."
Last December, Speaker McCall showed a 2004 document that said the compacts would automatically renew. "In review of the documentation, what we have to look at, I think it very much supports the auto-renew and that threshold has been met," McCall said.
SENATE PPRESIDENT PRO TEM GREG TREAT
Senate President Pro Tem Greg Treat, R-Oklahoma City, idoes not take a stand on whether the tribal gaming compacts automatically renew. He said, "I don't know if they do or don't. That is out of the hands of the Legislature."

Gov. Stitt filed a lawsuit in federal court for an injunction against Class III Indian gaming, AKA Vegas-style gambling. The governor claims that tribal gaming compacts expired Jan.1 and continued gambling is illegal until the compacts are renegotiated.
Tribes disagree with the governor and insist the gaming compacts automatically renewed Jan. 1. The Chickasaw, Choctaw and Cherokee tribes filed a federal lawsuit Dec. 31 seeking confirmation of this position.
In response, Gov. Stitt filed his suit with these comments:
"Continuing to conduct class III electronic gaming in the absence of valid Gaming Compacts with Oklahoma has resulted, is resulting, and will continue to result, in unjust enrichment to the Tribes. Unjust enrichment will continue unless and until a new gaming compact is entered into by and between the Tribes and Oklahoma."
"Without an injunction, Oklahoma, as a State of the United States of America, will suffer irreparable harm because its sovereignty is not being recognized by the Tribes, who continue to unlawfully conduct class III gaming in the absence of valid and existing gaming compacts."
Mike McBride III, an attorney representing the tribes, feels the governor's lawsuit is a pressure tactic because he has no authority to shut down the casinos. The casinos will continue to operate as before and continue their payments to the state.

Today is the critical date in the compact dispute and both sides are holding firm to their positions.
All Oklahoma Indian gaming compacts expired today. Did they automatically renew as the tribes believe? None were renegotiated with Gov. Stitt, and at the same time all tribal casinos are open and operating today.
Three Tribes File Federal Lawsuit
The Cherokee, Chickasaw, and Choctaw Nations filed a federal lawsuit New Year's Eve Day seeking a court declaration that the compacts automatically renew. The suit seeks "to bring an end to the uncertainty Oklahoma Governor J. Kevin Stitt has attempted to cast over Tribal gaming operations."
The tribes cite Part 15 B. in their compacts, which states:
"This Compact shall have a term which will expire on January 1, 2020, and at that time, if organization licensees or others are authorized to conduct electronic gaming in any form other than pari-mutuel wagering on live horse racing pursuant to any governmental action of the state or court order following the effective date of this Compact, the Compact shall automatically renew for successive additional fifteen-year terms."
Other tribal leaders, such as Muscogee (Creek) Nation Chief James Floyd, have expressed full support for the lawsuit.
Two Tribes Sign Compact Extensions
At the same time as the three tribes filed their lawsuit on New Year's Eve Day, two other tribes signed eight-month compact extensions with Governor Stitt. These were the Kialegee Tribal Town and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians.

Gov. Stitt and Oklahoma tribes completely disagree on the status of the current gaming compacts. The governor says they will expire Jan 1 and must be renegotiated, while the tribes insist they will automatically renew.
On Monday Gov. Stitt's top cabinet adviser on Native American issues resigned as a result of the compact conflict. Lisa J. Billy, Secretary of Native American Affairs, announced that she could no longer serve as the result of the governor's actions.
Lisa Billy's resignation letter stated:
"It has become increasingly clear you are committed to an unnecessary conflict that poses a real risk of lasting damage to the State-Tribal relationship and to our economy. You have dismissed advice and facts that show the peril of your chosen approach and have remained intent on breaking faith with the Tribes, both by refusing to engage with the compact's language and, more recently, by suggesting you would displace our Tribal partners with private, out-of-state commercial gaming operators".
Lisa Billy previously served in the Oklahoma House of Representatives for District 42 from 2004 to 2016.

While Gov Stitt and Oklahoma tribes continue their dispute over gaming compacts, the state has notified tribes that tax audits will begin as early as Jan 2.
The office of Gov. Stitt released this statement today:
"The State is resuming audits of all casino operations in Oklahoma, a right provided in the gaming compacts. As stated in the letters to tribes, the scope of work will be for business activity between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018. This reflects a period of time when the State had stopped conducting audits on casinos."
Can the timing of this audit be considered harassment? Matthew Morgan, chairman of the Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association, responded:
"I don't know if it is harassment. I don't know if it is a new administration trying to determine its own path on how to accomplish duties and is unsure of the prior process. It seems like an odd time to come to a facility when the head of the executive department said the authority which they operate on expires Jan. 1."
Stephen Greetham, a senior counsel with the Chickasaw Nation, added:
"On first review, it seems to provide more proof the state does not understand the compact. Based on past practice, it marks an ill-advised departure from our previously good working relationship, but perhaps that isn't surprising, given the state of things."

WE STAND UNITED: OKLAHOM'S GAMING TRIBES

December 18, 2019
Yesterday Gov. Stitt proposed extending the term of the current gaming compacts from Dec 31 to August 31, 2020. He said this will allow the Oklahoma Indian casino to legally continue operating Class III gaming while adding time to renegotiate the terms of revenues paid to the state.
Tribal leaders responded by disputing the govenor's position that the gaming compacts must be renegotiated by Jan 1.
Chickasaw Nation Gov. Bill Anoatubby replied this way:
"Unlike contracts, compacts are solemn agreements between two sovereigns that remain in force until both parties agree otherwise," Anoatubby said in the prepared comments, noting that the tribes had received a legal opinion from a former solicitor general "that reinforces our confidence that the compacts automatically renew on January 1."
"We have honored the terms of the compact and intend to continue operating under that renewing agreement, and we expect the State to do the same".
Additional comments by Muscogee (Creek) Nation Principal Chief James Floyd, Choctaw Nation Chief Gary Batton, Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr., and Seminole Nation Chief Greg Chilcoat reiterated that the governor's insistance on renegotiations is totally unfounded.

Gov. Stitt and the Oklahoma Indian tribes have reached an impasse just 18 days before the tribal gaming compacts expire on Jan 1, 2020. The governor asserts the compacts will end Jan 1 and wants to renegotiate the revenue terms of the compacts, while the tribes insist the compacts automatically renew and any renegotiation is optional and must be mutually agreed to.
Today Gov. Stitt held a Capitol press conference and said:
"The state cannot reach an agreement that addresses the needs of every single tribe in the state in the next 18 days. That is obvious to me. But if we do not take action, all Class III gaming activity will be illegal on Jan. 1, 2020. This creates tremendous uncertainty".
The governor announced Attorney General Mike Hunter has withdrawn from the compact negotiations and the governor is now taking the single role as negotiator. He plans to hire and outside legal group to assist him.
The governor also proposed an eight-month extension to renegotiate the compacts. He said:
"To protect all the hard-working Oklahomans and the tribal members who are employed at more than 100 casinos across our great state, I am announcing today that the state of Oklahoma will be requesting tribal leaders to join me in signing an extension to the gaming compact," Stitt said at a Capitol news conference. "The language in this extension will allow each side who signs the extension to retain their legal position."
"I want business to continue as usual as we resolve this dispute," Stitt said at a Capitol press conference. "I want the banks, the alcohol vendors and the workers to have surety. [...] I also want to ensure that the revenues of the state that the state receives continue to be available to fund the state services that we provide to all Oklahomans".
"We do not want gaming to be illegal, and we do not want vendors to be operating illegally".

This statement targets the core issue in the dispute between Gov. Stitt and the 31 Oklahoma tribes operating Class III casinos under terms of these gaming compacts. The governor asserts the compacts expire Jan. 1, 2020 and must be renegotiated. The tribes disagree and say the compacts renew automatically whether they are renegotiated or not.
The 2004 report, a copy of the bill, and a bill summary were sent to members of the Republican House caucus by Speaker Charles McCall on Friday in response to member requests for more information.
Baylee Lakey, the Communications Director for Gov. Stitt made these comments regarding the 2004 report:
"Why would you have a termination date and then in the same breath say 'never-mind,' without any mention of events that would trigger a renewal? The only reasonable legal conclusion is no triggering events have occurred and therefore the compacts expire on Jan. 1, 2020."
The state legislature has no involvement in compact negotiations, however, members are watching in case there becomes a need for legislation or ratification of a deal.

In what appears to be a new negotiating tact with casino tribes, Gov. Kevin Stitt mentioned earlier this week that some commercial casino operators are very interested in opening casinos in Oklahoma if a new deal is not reached on tribal gaming compacts.
Gov. Stitt says he has talked with commercial operators willing to sign an immediate deal to open casinos and pay a state tax of 18%. The governor said, "Let's open it to everybody. What is operating a casino worth to have exclusive right to do that?"
Tribes Respond
Oklahoma tribes disagree with the governor's view that gaming compacts expire Jan 1, 2020. They believe the compacts automatically renew.
Cherokee Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. said Tuesday that Gov. Kevin Stitt's suggestion of a commercial casino alternative would put $150 million per year in tribal exclusivity fees at risk. More than 130 tribal gaming operations in the state pay these exclusivity fees to the state. Hoskin added that tribes have spent billions of dollars building gaming facilities making the market highly competitive and saturated.
Muscogee (Creek) Nation Principal Chief James Floyd said:
"For the state to actively recruit for-profit gaming corporations to compete with Oklahoma's tribal nations, it would require significant changes to our laws by members of the state Legislature".
"Furthermore, removing the exclusivity agreement with our tribes also effectively removes the constraints of a nation's boundaries on where a gaming facility may be constructed," Floyd said. "Gov. Stitt is potentially opening up all of Oklahoma for gaming on every corner of every neighborhood in any part of the state".
Matthew Morgan, the Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association Chairman and Executive Officer for policy development and gaming for the Chickasaw Nation, is disappointed in the governor's comments. He said:
"Any commercial operator that is out of state isn't living here, isn't investing here, isn't working together hand in hand with local communities to better Oklahoma".
Stephen Greetham, senior counsel for the Chickasaw Nation, said:
"If commercial gaming were allowed, it would breach the compacts and result in a $150 million annual loss for the state in exclusivity fees".
"I don't know what to make of Gov. Stitt's public comments. They are all over the map".
Chickasaw Nation Gov. Bill Anoatubby commented:
"Tribes have invested millions of dollars in facilities and infrastructure, helping tribal gaming become an increasingly important engine for economic development across Oklahoma, and particularly in rural Oklahoma".
"Growth in tribal economic development has been a win-win for the state and tribes. It's a testament to what we can accomplish when we work together".

The dispute over casino gaming compacts continues between Gov. Kevin Stitt and 35 Oklahoma casino tribes. The governor says the existing compacts expire at the end of 2019, and the tribes say the compacts will automatically renew Jan. 1, 2020.
On Oct. 28 the Attorney General Mike Hunter met with 200 tribal leaders and representatives of the tribes. He proposed arbitration to resolve the dispute, however, the tribes unanimously objected. In a letter replying to AG Hunter and his proposal, the tribes reiterated their belief the compacts renew automatically and do not expire.
The current gaming compacts give the tribes exclusive rights to operate casinos in exchange for 4% and 10% of a casino's net revenue. The governor wants to negotiate a greater share of these gaming revenues for the state, and the tribes want to preserve their income for existing education, health and welfare programs for their members.

The Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association sent a letter July 26 to Governor J. Kevin Stitt and signed by leaders of 29 Oklahoma tribes. The letter unanimously opposed the governor's call to renegotiate the 2004 gaming compacts that expire Jan 1, 2020.
The letter reads, "We, the undersigned Tribal leaders, respectfully represent that we intend to stand united in response to your recent statement that the Gaming Compact will expire at the end of this year."
The letter continues to read as a statement of unity with emphasis on these points:
The gaming compacts automatically renew on Jan 1, 2020.
The letter reads, "They represent promises made by the State of Oklahoma and the Tribes. Promises we intend to fulfill now and in the future, and we expect the State to do the same."
The current gaming rates paid to the state should not change.
The Governor can call for renegotiation of rates, but without mutual agreement the rates remain unchanged and automatically renew.
The governor should address his proposals to this group rather than to individual tribes.
The letter reads, "We would ask that you send your proposal to each and every Tribe together so that we may consider any proposal as a unified body of tribal leaders."
The following are member tribes of the Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association as listed on the organization's website (www.oiga.org).

The Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes today rejected Gov. Kevin Stitt's position that existing gaming compacts expire Jan 1, 2020 and must be renegotiated prior to that date.
The Five Tribes passed a resolution of unity affirming their position that gaming compacts automatically renew unless the state and tribes mutually agree to changes.
The leaders signing the resolution are (left to right) Muscogee (Creek) Nation Principal Chief James R. Floyd, Choctaw Nation Chief Gary Batton, Seminole Nation Chief Greg. P. Chilcoat, Chickasaw Nation Governor Bill Anoatubby and Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Bill John Baker.
A joint statement was also issued following the meeting of the Inter-Tribal Council. A portion of the statement says:
"The recent action of Governor Stitt puts into question his sincerity to work with us in a cooperative manner moving ahead. We are resolute in our position, and it is our hope Governor Stitt and his advisors will not attempt any bad faith interference on the compact which could set back the progress we have achieved by working together."

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt has announced his intention to negotiate new gaming compacts with Oklahoma tribes, a move that surprised most tribal leaders. The current gaming compacts are scheduled to renew on January 1, 2020.
Gaming compacts are agreements with the state government granting exclusive gambling rights to individual Oklahoma tribes, and in return, the tribes pay the state between 4% and 10% of their net gambling revenues.
There is a basic disagreement between the governor and the tribes regarding the "renewal" terms of the compacts
The governor feels the compacts are 15 years old and deserve a "fresh look" based on today's gaming industry. He believes Vegas-style Class III gaming will end automatically on Jan 1 without renegotiation or court action.
The tribes disagree. They believe the compacts will automatically renew if both sides do not come to a new agreement.
Any compact changes require final approval from the federal government.

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a case filed by the Comanche Nation seeking to block the Chickasaw Nation from building its Riverstar Casino at Terral in Jefferson County, OK.
The Comanche Nation case claimed the casino site was part of the Comanche's original reservation and was wrongfully taken into federal trust by the Secretary of Interior. The lies within 45 miles of the Comanche Red River Hotel and Casino at Devol.
The Supreme Court declined without comment to let stand a previous decision by U.S. District Judge Joe Heaton of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Judge Heaton ruled the Terral land is now within the Chickasaw reservation and the Comanche Nation shouldhave filed a case within the six-year statute of limitations for challenging the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1986.
The Chickasaw Nation began construction on the Riverstar Casino in May 2017. It opened March 1, 2018.
The Riverstar Casino is located on U.S. Highway 81 about two miles north of the Texas border.

The Muscogee (Creek) Nation is conducting a comprehensive evaluation of building a 400-600 room hotel.
The hotel would be built near the BOK Center. The current location under consideration is two acres across Denver Ave from the BOK Center. The address is 200 W. First St. which lies between First and Second streets.
The tribe's hotel project plan with conceptual drawings has been favorably received by city and county officials. If the project seems feasible, it will continue to develop it will eventually engage an architectural firm to prepare a conceptual design.
In recent years the Creek Nation has made significant investments in south Tulsa. These include the River Spirit Casino Resort, retail development on Riverside Parkway, and the revitalization of RiverWalk.

There is a new casino project being proposed for Enid. The casino would be owned by the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians. However, the controversy is already starting due to gaming not being allowed in the city limits.
A meeting was held on Tuesday with representatives from the tribe and the Enid City Commission. During this meeting the city was told that the project will move forward regardless of having support or not from the city.
The property that the tribe wants to use will need to be taken into federal trust before the tribe can conduct any gaming. One of the steps needed for this to have approval for the project by the Oklahoma governor.
The tribe has expressed interest in obtaining support from the city on the casino project. Step one in the approval process will be getting support from the city commission. An application asking for land to be placed into trust also needs to be submitted to the Department of Interior. An environmental impact report will need have a study conducted to ensure that the project will be in compliance with the Environmental Policy Act.
The proposed casino would offer slot machines, blackjack, poker, craps, and roulette. The building would be 20,000 square feet.
Since tribal land is considered sovereign, the tribe can agree to pay the city a fee instead of paying taxes. Over ten years a monthly payment would be made to the city based on the revenue that was made from the casino. The city will also be given $12 million for infrastructure improvements. These agreements would be done as a way to show the city that the tribe is interested in being a good neighbor.

The annual Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association was held this week in Oklahoma City. One of the topics of discussion was the future of gaming in the state.
Recently a law was approved that will allow for casinos to operate roulette and craps. It is estimated that tribal owned casinos will begin offering these games in October.
Supporters of the new gaming opportunities believe that it will help generate more revenue at the casinos. As well as attract more visitors to the area. The popularity of the games and not able to operate them in the state are believed to have kept many casino visitors away.
Compacts between the state and the tribes have been amended with nearly half of the tribes that own casinos. The Department of Interior will send final approval and then the games will be allowed to begin operation.
Many of the casinos have their preparations in place to start offering the games. They are only waiting the for final approval that everything is legally in place.
They are hopeful it could take place by Labor Day. However, that may be unlikely.
Another popular topic at the annual event was sports betting.
Recently the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a law that prevented sports betting in states outside of Nevada. Individual states have been given the power to decide if it will be allowed at their casinos. Oklahoma would still need to pass its own law before sports betting would be allowed.
Adding the new games of blackjack and roulette will earn an estimated $20 million for Oklahoma as soon as the games are implemented.
10 percent of the money earned from these games will be paid in taxes to the state.

There will be $353.5 million allocated for teacher salaries. Support staff will receive $52 million. Benefit flex health care will have $24.7 million. State education aid will receive $17 million. Teaching supplies and text books will be funded with a projected $50 million.

State legislators and the governor are trying to show residents in Oklahoma and educators that investing more into education is important. They want people in the state to know that investing in the education of Oklahoma will help better their lives and their futures.
