SB 585 updates Oklahoma's gaming laws to clarify rules for tribal-state partnerships. It permits up to three racetracks to operate electronic gaming machines under strict terminal limits (650 in large counties, 250 each in smaller counties) and requires tribes to share revenue with the state. The bill also updates definitions for gaming types and ensures tribal compacts align with federal law, directly affecting tribal casinos and racetracks seeking to expand electronic gaming operations. These changes aim to modernize regulatory frameworks while maintaining tribal-state gaming agreements.
