What US Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (25 U.S.C. Chapter 29): Federal Framework for Gaming on Indian Lands and the Three Classes of Gaming requires
The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 (IGRA), codified at 25 U.S.C. Chapter 29, establishes the federal framework for the conduct and regulation of gaming on Indian lands and creates the National Indian Gaming Commission, balancing tribal self-government and economic development against the need to shield gaming from organized crime. Section 2701 sets out the congressional findings. Section 2702 declares the policy of promoting tribal economic development, self-sufficiency, and strong tribal government through gaming. Section 2703 sets the definitions and divides gaming into three classes: Class I, social games for minimal prizes or traditional ceremonial gaming; Class II, bingo and certain card games, excluding banking card games and slot machines; and Class III, all other forms of gaming. Section 2704 establishes the National Indian Gaming Commission and its composition. Section 2710 governs tribal gaming ordinances, placing Class I under exclusive tribal jurisdiction, Class II under tribal jurisdiction subject to Commission oversight, and Class III conditional on a Tribal-State compact. Section 2711 governs the review and approval of management contracts by the Commission Chairman. Section 2712 governs review of existing ordinances and contracts. Section 2719 restricts gaming on lands acquired by the Secretary in trust for a tribe after October 17, 1988, subject to specified exceptions. The Act is the foundational federal statute for tribal gaming compliance.
