“Today I was honored to take part in the signing of Tribal gaming compacts with my fellow Tribal leaders that will benefit all our Tribal nations and the entire state of Arizona. At least two new casinos will be established in the Phoenix-metro area - one an enterprise of the Tohono O’odham Nation, the other to be operated by the Gila River Indian Community. The amended gaming compacts afford Tribes further opportunities to build and operate new gaming properties. The signing of HB2772 coincides with the new 2021 Gaming Compact, also signed by the Governor on Thursday. HB2772 also establishes the 2021 Compact Trust Fund - available to federally-recognized Tribes that are included in the 2021 Gaming Compact Amendment - to mitigate impacts to Indian Tribes from gaming, and to provide economic benefits to Arizona’s Tribal Nations. The bill, which establishes sports betting, fantasy sports wagering, and other forms of electronic gaming in Arizona, received broad Tribal support. On April 15 2021, Governor Doug Ducey signed HB2772 into law.
