Therefore, if a casino is on Indian land we explain if that casino offers Class II, or ClassIII gambling. Class II slot machines are different from the slots that you would find in a regular casino, such asin Las Vegas or Atlantic City. Class II gaming machines are based on bingo and you are actually playing a very fast game of bingo against other players in the casino.
