Short Summary
This legal document establishes a new standard form of tribal-state gaming compact in Arizona. It requires the state, through the governor, to enter into the new compact with an Indian tribe upon request. The compact allows Indian tribes to conduct various forms of regulated gambling, such as gaming devices, keno, offtrack pari-mutuel wagering, blackjack, poker, and lottery, as long as it is in accordance with the terms of the compact. The document also outlines the responsibilities of the Department of Gaming in administering the transfer and pooling of unused gaming device allocations. It authorizes the state to negotiate and enter into amendments to the new compacts that are consistent with the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act and the policies of the Indian gaming regulatory act.

The document also includes provisions for negotiations and mediation in case of proposed amendments to the compact. The compact replaces any previous tribal-state gaming compact between the state and the tribe and has a duration of the remainder of the term of the pre-existing compact plus ten years.
