Tribal gaming in Arizona is setting records through the first quarter of 2023, which means that contributions from the Arizona Department of Gaming are at an all-time high.
Per the Arizona Tribal-State Gaming Compact, tribes with casinos must contribute a percentage of their Class III gross gaming revenue to the state, cities, towns and counties of Arizona. These contributions go to the Arizona Benefits Fund, where the ADG splits the contributions.
The third quarter of Fiscal Year 2023 produced $27,607,589 for the Arizona Benefits Fund, the ADG announced recently. It marks a 19.9% increase from the same quarter in Fiscal Year 2022, and contributions are closing in on $2 billion since 2004.
