In mid-1993 Arizona’s
Governor Symington signed a compact
with the state’s tribes that allowed
them to offer slot machines on their
reservations.
The compact originally
didn't allow for any table games
but in early 2003 blackjack was
added as a permissible table game.
The casinos are also permitted to
offer video versions of craps and
roulette.
Arizona tribes
aren’t required to release information
on their slot machine percentage
paybacks, however, according to
the Arizona Department of Gaming,
the terms of the compact require
each tribes’ machines to return
the following minimum and maximum
paybacks: video poker and video
blackjack - 83% to 100%, slot machines
- 80% to 100%, keno - 75% to 100%.
Each tribe is free to set its machines
to pay back anywhere within those
limits.
All Arizona casinos
have slots, video poker and video
keno. Optional games include: blackjack
(BJ), video craps (VC), video roulette
(VR), poker (P), live keno (K),
bingo (BG) and simulcasting (S).
The minimum gambling age is 21 and
all casinos are open 24 hours. For
