Non-profits or municipalities can apply to host “games of chance” only if the revenue supports an approved charitable endeavor. The state’s tribal casinos, for that reason, largely offer bingo or pull-tab games.Ĭharitable gaming, meanwhile, is authorized within the state. For decades, however, Alaska has been very careful in authorizing which types of charitable gaming is actually allowed, due to a clause in the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act that would require the state to allow tribal casinos to operate the same games, according to local outlet KTUU.
