The NIGC continues to review and revise the minimum internal control standards (MICS) for Class II gaming. The NIGC anticipates proposing minor but substantive corrections to the Class II MICS, including adding clarifying language and reinserting critical key controls that were inadvertently removed by the last revisions.

Periodic review and revision of existing standards based on input by a wide array of tribal entities ensures that the MICS remain relevant and appropriate. Recent review has uncovered a need for correction and clarification to specific provisions of the MICS, as well as a need to re-insert standards that were accidentally overwritten when kiosk standards were added.
