NIGC publishes Class II rules and withdrawals
Friday, October 10, 2008

The National Indian Gaming Commission published two final rules for Class II gaming and withdrew two others in notices in today's Federal Register.

The agency published a final rule for Minimum Internal Control Standards and final rule for Technical Standards. The notices state that the rules do not seek to distinguish between Class II games like bingo and Class II games like slot machines.

The agency withdrew two rules that would have distinguished between the two classes. The rule for Classification Standards and the rule for Definition for Electronic or Electromechanical Facsimile were opposed by tribes and gaming manufacturers.

Federal Register Notices:
Minimum Internal Control Standards for Class II Gaming (October 10, 2008)
Technical Standards for Electronic, Computer, or Other Technologic Aids Used in the Play of Class II Games (October 10, 2008)
Classification Standards for Bingo, Lotto, Other Games Similar to Bingo, Pull Tabs and Instant Bingo as Class II Gaming When Played Through an Electronic Medium Using ``Electronic, Computer, or Other Technologic Aids'' (October 10, 2008)
Definition for Electronic or Electromechanical Facsimile; Classification Standards for Bingo, Lotto, etc.; Withdrawal of Proposed Rules (October 10, 2008)
