3141-AA90 202510 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 3141 National Indian Gaming Commission NIGC "Gaming" and "Gambling" Definition

The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) regulates Class II and III "gaming” and" gambling” on Indian lands, defining three classes of gaming: I, II, and III. But the statute does not define the terms "gaming” or "gambling.” Such terms, however, are well-established in federal common law, which the Commission adopted. Therefore, the Commission acts to define these terms by regulation.
