Respondents Joint Answer Brief
An excerpt:
In summary, the Oregon legislature authorized the Governor to enter into agreements with tribes to ensure that the state does not infringe on tribal rights under federal laws, such as IGRA. The trial court correctly concluded that the Governor acted lawfully under ORS 190.110 in negotiating and entering into the tribal-state compact with the Tribes.

WHEREAS,
certain gaming Tribes, in order to eliminate competition, have sought to constrain the ability of neighboring nations to conduct Class III gaming on their lands by obtaining from the state government a promise of “geographic exclusivity” pursuant to which the state agrees to not allowany Class III gaming on all or a portion of the lands of such neighboring Indian nations; andWHEREAS,such agreements blatantly infringe upon the sovereign rights of neighboring Indian nations andabrogate a state government’s statutory obligation, under IGRA, to negotiate, in good faith, a Class III compact with any resident Indian nation that desires to conduct Class III gaming anywhere within such nation’s borders;

Press release text here:
Twenty-five years to the day after Congress enacted the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa began a new era of Indian gaming. On October 17, 2013, the Tribe’s governing body voted unanimously to ratify an inter-tribal agreement to create the Tribal Internet Gaming Alliance (TIGA). The agreement, being called an inter-tribal treaty, will organize tribes across the country to both offer and regulate internet and mobile phone gaming. Until laws change, TIGA will accept real-money wagers only from people who are physically present in the member tribes’ jurisdictions, such as patrons at tribal casinos and visitors to other tribal lands. When customers are outside of tribal jurisdiction, the games will be fun-play and will offer casino promotions. Games will be those categorized as class II under IGRA, such as slot-like bingo, traditional bingo, pull tabs, and poker. Because the games are class II, no tribal-state compacts will have to be amended.
Using this strategy, TIGA tribes will jump ahead of the online competition and get extremely valuable experience with real-money wagering before other tribes and gaming operations. The idea for TIGA began among tribes in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan. TIGA developments are now being followed by 28 tribes in 13 states.
Attached you will find: 1) a TIGA Fact Sheet; 2) a media release from the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa; and 3) a copy of the TIGA Treaty.
