In the 2004 legislative session, the Oklahoma Legislature approved Senate Bill 553 and subsequently amended that with Senate Bill 1252. The legislation referred to a vote of the People of the State of Oklahoma, the “State-Tribal Gaming Act.” The referendum was approved in a Nov. 2, 2004, vote.

The approved State Question 712 established a model tribal gaming compact, essentially a “pre-approved” offer to all federally recognized Indian tribes as defined in the legislation. Acceptance of the compact, approval by the Secretary of the Interior and subsequent publication in the Federal Register, allows compacting tribes to operate the following covered games:

• electronic bonanza-style bingo games,
• electronic amusement games,
• electronic instant bingo games, and
• nonhouse-banked card games.

The compact establishes monthly exclusivity payments, one-time startup, and annual assessments for the operation of covered games.

The laws include minimum state regulatory requirements on games, accounting and auditing standards, the licensing of employees, liability insurance, property claim procedures and several other provisions.

The law did not affect the authority of the National Indian Gaming Commission. That organization still has the authority to ensure that gaming activities comply with the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.

Finally, the law established a State Compliance Agency, which is identified as the Office of Management and Enterprise Services.  The Gaming Compliance Unit is the sub-unit of OMES which has the authority to carry out the state’s oversight responsibilities under the compact.

In general, a type of gambling is illegal in Connecticut unless the law specifically allows it.  The Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) Gaming Division regulates all legal gambling in the state.  Federal, state and local law enforcement authorities are responsible for enforcing the laws pertaining to illegal gambling.It is illegal for a non-profit organization to conduct an event without an appropriate permit or a for-profit organization to operate without an appropriate license.

Regulatory Agencies

The Commission on Special Revenue introduced the lottery in Connecticut in 1972. The Division of Special Revenue (DOSR) operated the lottery until 1996 when the Connecticut Lottery Corporation (CLC), a quasi public state agency, was formed to conduct the lottery. DOSR regulated the CLC and all legal gaming until they merged with DCP, and became DCP’s Gaming Division which now has those responsibilities.

Non-Profit Organizations

Qualified non-profit organizations can raise funds from a variety of activities. Bingo was legalized in Connecticut in 1939. Bazaars and raffles were authorized in 1955 and sealed tickets in 1987. Beginning in 1972, non-profits could operate casino games during Las Vegas Night fundraisers, but that law was repealed in 2003.

As of January 2017, municipalities issue permits to non-profit organizations conducting these activities.

Types of Legal Gambling

Jai alai is authorized by statute. Frontons in Bridgeport and Hartford opened in 1976 and the Milford fronton opened the next year. In 1995 Bridgeport Jai Alai closed and became a greyhound racetrack and Hartford Jai Alai closed and became an OTB provider.In 2001, the last fronton in Connecticut, Milford Jai Alai, closed.

Horse racing is also authorized by statute, but no horse track has operated in Connecticut.

Foxwoods Resort Casino was opened by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe in 1992. The Mohegan Tribe opened Mohegan Sun four years later. Each casino is authorized to offer any game of chance that is legal under state law (the Las Vegas Night laws were in force when each casino first opened). Each tribe and the state of Connecticut have entered into memoranda of understanding to allow video facsimile machines to be operated at the casinos.

The Board consists of three full-time members appointed by the Governor for four-year terms, with one member acting as Chairman, and is responsible for regulating all aspects of Nevada’s gaming industry.
