Arizona expanding gambling options

A few days old, but Arizona is going to expanded gambling options to allow for sports betting as well as more "game of chance" casino games including roulette, craps, and baccarat. This is part of an amended compact with the tribes here.

Additional changes include the ability for more casinos, more machines, and more total tables in the state.

The only item I was wondering about that I couldn't find was the current maximum bet limits for different games and if they would be adjusted. Currently $35 a play for electronic games, $600 per bet in poker, and $1,300 at a game like blackjack.

Just saw the news myself! It's a significant expansion of Class III games AZ tribes can offer and these talks have been in the works for years.

I was looking through the new compact and this section talks about bet limits:

Quote:

(m) Wager Limitations.

(1) Wagers for each authorized form of Class III gaming shall be limited in a
mutually agreed-upon Appendix setting forth the standards, specifications
and regulations governing the applicable Gaming Activity.
(2) Increases in wager limitations. During the term of this Compact, the
wager limitations for each authorized Gaming Activity as set forth in the
relevant Appendix governing such activity may be increased upon written
agreement of the parties.

Looks like the limits will be changing. There is currently no published appendix with actual bet limits yet, but I bet it will be published on the ADG tribal gaming page when it's finalized.

Another interesting section are the max number of tables allowed for the newly authorized games. These initial limits will increase by 5% every 5 years automatically without an updated compact.

Quote:

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Compact, the
Tribe is authorized to operate up to:

(A) four (4) keno games per Gaming Facility;
(B) eight (8) craps tables within each Gaming Facility;
(C) eight (8) roulette tables within each Gaming Facility;
(D) eight (8) baccarat tables within each Gaming Facility;
(E) four (4) sic bo games per Gaming Facility; and
(F) four (4) pai gow tile games per Gaming Facility.

ADG has updated its site with more info.

Legal wager limits are going up massively. Gaming devices have been increased to a $10,000 limit and table games to a $100,000 limit. Not sure about poker.

The new games except sports betting should start going live within the next few weeks. Sports betting will probably go live around September.

More guidance, fantasy sports start August 28th, sports betting September 9th.

Just in time for college and NFL football, respectively.

Gila River Casinos also announced that they will be opening a 4th casino, just south of Chandler, right by a residential neighborhood.
