Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the governor may negotiate and enter into Indian gaming
compacts. These compacts are regulated by the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory
Act.
This bill requires that before the governor may enter into a gaming compact,
the compact must contain a provision requiring that signs stating the expected loss
per hour of play for each denomination that may be played on the machine, as
determined by the director of Indian gaming, be displayed on all gambling devices
authorized by the compact.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
