The Arizona Department of Gaming was established by the Arizona State Legislature in 1995 to regulate the state's growing gaming industry.[1]
In 2015, the legislature consolidated the Department of Racing under the Department of Gaming.[1]
Activitiesedit
The Arizona Department of Gaming regulates the state's Native American gaming operations, pari-mutuel racing and wagering, as well as boxing and mixed arts.[1][3] It enforces the state's laws prohibiting illegal and unauthorized gaming, and works with police enforcement to investigate violations.[3][4] The department also operates the Arizona Office of Problem Gambling (OPG), which provides and supports the treatment and prevention of problem gambling.[1][3]
The state's Native American gaming operations are governed by the Tribal-State Gaming Compacts. The department partners with the state's 21 Native American tribes with gaming compacts to oversee their casinos.[1] Currently there are sixteen tribes operating 23 casinos in Arizona. The other five tribes do not have casinos, but have slot machine rights they may lease to other tribes.[1]
Fundingedit
The Arizona Department of Gaming does not receive any tax revenue or general government funds to support its regulatory responsibilities, despite being a state government agency.[1] Its Native American gaming operations oversight is funded by the 21 tribes with gaming compacts, as set forth in their compacts.[1] Regulation of racing activities is funded by the Racing Regulation Fund, which is primarily composed of revenues from regulatory wagering assessments.[1]
