Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association marks 30 years of industry growth
Nearly 3,000 gaming professionals will gather in Oklahoma City July 14-16 for the Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association’s 30th annual Conference and Trade Show, according to The Journal Record. The event celebrates three decades of growth from bingo halls to over 130 gaming facilities operated by 35 tribal nations.
Oklahoma’s tribal gaming industry generated more than $202 million in exclusivity fees in 2023 and supports over 113,000 jobs statewide. Conference sessions will cover such topics as disaster preparedness, federal policy changes and sports betting. The event also features award presentations recognizing leaders who have advanced tribal gaming rights and sovereignty. OIGA Chairman Matthew Morgan said the industry continues to drive economic development and funds government programs that benefit tribal citizens and the broader community.
