1
The State of Oklahoma collected over $191.5 million in tribal gaming exclusivity fees in scal year
2022 under state-tribal gaming compacts. This is an 18% increase over the previous year.
Tribes paid the FY 2022 exclusivity fees based on over $3.19 billion in revenue generated from Class III
electronic games
1
and nonhouse-banked card games.
Since 2005, when tribes rst began operating under voter-approved, state-tribal compacts, exclusivity
payments have grown year-over-year with only two exceptions in FY 2014 and FY 2020.
Under the compacts, tribes pay monthly exclusivity fees based on a sliding scale for Class III electronic
games. Exclusivity fees are distributed to the Education Reform Revolving Fund (1017 Fund), the General
Revenue Fund and the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. In FY 2022, the 1017
Fund received $168.3 million and the GRF received $23 million. ODMHSAS statutorily receives a set
$250,000 annually from the exclusivity fees.
The compact also includes minimum state regulatory requirements on games, accounting and auditing
standards, the licensing of employees, liability insurance, property claim procedures and several other
provisions. The Gaming Compliance Unit of the Ofce of Management and Enterprise Services carries out
the oversight responsibilities granted to the state under the compact.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1
The state-tribal gaming compact allows for the play of the following electronic games: bonanza-style bingo, instant bingo and amusement games.

TOTAL EXCLUSIVITY FEES
ELECTRONIC AND TABLE GAME FEES
Exclusivity fee collections of $191,541,657.58 came in at approximately 18% above FY 2021.
The payment from electronic games is typically much greater than the payment received from table
games, and FY 2022 was no different.
In FY 2022, tribes paid $166,497,535.92 in electronic games fees, a $22,889,782.73, or 16%, increase
from the previous year. FY 2022 table games fees totaled $25,044,121.66, a $5,685,502.19, or 30%,
increase from FY 2021.
3
The number of Class III machines rose signicantly in FY 2022.
In FY 2022, there was a monthly average of 44,604 Class III machines compared to 41,891 in FY 2021.
CLASS III MACHINES
The growth of Class III machines was strong from 2005 to 2008, but weakened after the National Indian
Gaming Commission withdrew restrictive Class II regulations in 2008. Class II machines declined from
2005 to 2008 but have grown substantially since 2009. The number of Class III machines has begun
to increase again, and gures available indicate Class II machines continue to grow at a faster pace as a
percentage of total machines. The state collects exclusivity fees from Class III machines and nonhouse-
banked card games but not Class II games.
4
In FY 2022, tribal revenue from Class III games and table games was $3,187,714,401.54, of which
tribes paid $191,541,657.58 to the state.
Under the state-tribal compact, tribes pay monthly exclusivity fees from Class III game revenues based on
a sliding scale. For the rst $10 million in revenue, tribes pay 4% to the state; for the next $10 million, the
payment is 5%; and for revenues more than $20 million, the payment is 6%. Tribes pay 10% of the monthly
net win from table games.
As required by statute, the exclusivity fees go to the Education Reform Revolving Fund (1017
Fund), the General Revenue Fund and the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.
ODMHSAS receives $250,000 annually. Of the remaining fees, the 1017 Fund receives 88% and the GRF
receives 12%. The 1017 Fund received $168,336,658.71 in FY 2022 compared to $143,190,407.98 in FY
2021. The GRF received $22,954,998.91 in FY 2022 compared to $19,525,964.72 in FY 2021.
STATE AND TRIBAL PORTIONS OF REVENUE
WHERE DOES THE STATE MONEY GO?
Note: In the 2007 legislative session, Senate Bill 820 amended the 12 percent recipient from OHLAP to the GRF, effective for FY 2008. OHLAP
funds began being directly allocated from the GRF as requested by Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education and approved by the Board of
Equalization.
