The act defines three categories of gaming: Class I encompasses social and traditional games solely within the Indian tribe's jurisdiction; Class II includes bingo and similar games authorized by tribal resolution in states where private gambling is not prohibited by law; Class III includes casinos and operates under the same restrictions as Class II, but in addition, a compact between the state and the Indian tribe must define how the gaming will be conducted and must be approved by the Secretary of the Department of the Interior.
