Officials representing charities say granting North Dakota’s five American Indian tribes exclusive rights to host online gambling could effectively end charitable gambling in the state.
The tribes want Gov. Doug Burgum to approve the idea under tribal-state agreements known as compacts.
The current compacts expire at the end of this year and only Burgum can approve them.
The tribes argue that their casinos have been hurt by the explosion of the charities’ Las Vegas-style pull tab machines.
Burgum heard arguments from the charities and tribes today (Fri).
He says terms of the compacts are still being negotiated and should be completed next month.
