INDIAN CASINOS Gaming rules

The Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma wants to build Las Vegas-style casinos in Ohio, including a location in Lordstown. The tribe wants a Class 3 gaming facility. Ohio law permits Class 2 gaming, but not Class 3.
A Class 3 gaming facility permits card games such as blackjack, as well as electronic games of chance and slot machines. Approval for a Class 3 casino requires the authorization of the tribe governing the Indian lands, is located within a state that permits such gaming, conducted pursuant to an agreement between the tribe and the state's governor, and approved by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior.
A Class 2 gaming license permits paper bingo, electronic bingo, off-track horse-race betting, pull-tabs, lotto, punch cards, games similar to bingo, and card games authorized by the state or not explicitly prohibited by the state and are played within it. A compact with the state's governor isn't need for this license. The requirements are approval from the tribe's council, approval from the National Indian Gaming Commission, and the Secretary of the Interior. Also, the tribe would have to reestablish the state as its ancestral homeland with the approval of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and have the land placed in trust with the interior department.
A Class 1 gaming license are social games for prizes of minimal value and traditional forms of Indian gaming associated with tribal ceremonies or customs. The activities must be on Indian land with jurisdiction for Class 1 activity completely in the hands of the tribe.
