AI Summary

  • Expands the definition of "other event" for event wagering purposes to mean competitions of relative skill or events authorized by the Arizona Department of Gaming, while explicitly excluding electronic games with casino-style interfaces like slot machines, blackjack, poker, roulette, or craps.

  • Applies the expanded "other event" definition to both the Arizona State Lottery (Section 5-554) and the event wagering regulatory framework (Section 5-1301), ensuring consistent terminology across gaming statutes.

  • Removes the conditional language "From and after the date on which the conditions prescribed in sections 5-1213 and 5-1321 are met" from lottery provisions, allowing the commission to establish electronic keno and mobile draw games without meeting previously required preconditions.

  • Clarifies that Indian tribes with event wagering operator licenses may offer mobile event wagering statewide outside their Indian lands if they have signed the most recent tribal-state gaming compact and applicable amendments.
