If online casino gaming does make its way into Oregon, expect tribal casinos to set the framework. Most states across the US require land-based casinos to be present before any online casino licenses can be acquired. If this is the case in Oregon, only tribal casinos will have the potential to go online, to begin with.

Oregon Gambling Landscape

Oregon gambling laws, namely the Oregon Constitution, ban all online gambling activities and commercial casinos. Unlike most other states, Oregon’s constitution is explicit on the process for a constitutional revision.

A revision would require a simple majority of the legislature to vote in favor of an amendment. Even with a simplified process, Oregon has not shown much interest in legalizing online casinos since the repeal of PASPA. However, the Oregon Lottery has recently announced its new Scoreboard Sports Betting app.

At the moment casinos can be found in Oregon through tribal casinos, the state-sanctioned lottery, horse racing industry, and fantasy sports betting.

Tribal casino gaming is governed by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act at both a state and federal level. There are currently nine Indian casinos in Oregon, each run by a different tribe or confederation. Tribal casino games are divided into three classes, all of which are available in Oregon. In should be noted that due to a clause in the IGRA, tribal casinos are permitted to offer any game available elsewhere in the state.

Oregon State Lottery

The other major player in Oregon gambling is the state lottery. On top of local and national lottery draws, the Oregon Lottery also provides video lottery terminals throughout the state. It is expected that the lottery will also be the first to enter the online market with regulated online games, instant ticket games, and keno.

The Oregon State Lottery currently provides state-sanctioned lottery and video lottery terminals in licensed locations. The state lottery is also authorized to provide online games including instant ticket games and Keno but is yet to do so. These games will not technically be ‘casino’ games, although sharing a large resemblance to them.

As mentioned above, the lottery was the first to launch online sports betting in the state.
