Class 2 Development Deconstructed

General Session Room

Launching a Class II casino involves strategic planning, regulatory alignment, and infrastructure development. Key steps include understanding Class II gaming regulations, establishing legal foundations with tribal resolutions, and confirming land eligibility. A business plan with market analysis and operational details is essential, followed by designing a scalable infrastructure with compliance systems. Partner with a certified technology provider for gaming systems and train staff on compliance and guest experience. Adding Class II offerings can provide more flexibility and autonomy, especially in states with limited Class III agreements.

Cashin' in on Bingo Progressives

Bingo Hall

No question about it, progressive jackpots in bingo are major revenue drivers... but let's go beyond Bonanza Bingo and U' Pick 'em's into the huge variety of progressive game types out there. In-house progressives include multi-part progressive jackpots, multi-level progressives, and games that progress jackpot amounts, or the numbers needed to win, and sometimes both! High stakes insured games and bingo jackpots that are linked between tribes can generate huge prizes to advertise and generate new excitement. Learn about setting up progressive jackpot criteria using probability tables and packaging strategies that optimize player spend and can be tailored to your hall size and headcount.

Hub and Spoke, Is it the Future of Class 2?

General Session Room

The Hub and Spoke model for Class II gaming involves a central "hub" linked to smaller "spoke" satellite venues, offering flexibility and scalability. This approach expands reach, provides more gaming opportunities, and reduces costs by centralizing operations, compliance, and technology. It enables service to remote or underserved communities while maintaining regulatory compliance. As technology and connectivity improve, the Hub and Spoke model could drive innovation and growth in the Class II gaming sector.
