Overview
Pursuant to each tribal-state compact, the Division staff jointly regulates or oversees Class III gaming facilities with a Nation or Tribal Gaming Agency. In addition, the Division conducts or causes the conduct of background investigations on all employees of the casino and related enterprises who conduct certain business to ensure their suitability. The Division maintains a presence within each Indian-operated facility to ensure that gaming operations, such as dealing procedures, internal accounting, and other controls, strictly conform to the applicable provisions of the relevant compact and its appendices.
Three tribes offer lawful gaming in New York State:
- The Seneca Nation of Indians
- The St. Regis Mohawks
- The Oneida Indian Nation of New York
