LAS
VEGAS, June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AGS (NYSE:
AGS or "the Company") CEO David
Lopez issued the following statement after the announcement
of the United States Supreme Court decision siding with certain
Tribes in Texas (the Tribes at
issue are the Ysleta del Sur and Alabama and Coushatta Indian Tribes of
Texas, which operate the Speaking
Rock and Naskila Gaming facilities, respectively) to allow bingo
gaming on their Tribal lands, without regulatory oversight from the
State of Texas. The Court's ruling
on Wednesday determined that these Texas Tribes have the autonomy
to regulate electronic bingo games on their lands, in compliance
with the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act ("IGRA") like most other
Tribes in America, regardless of the state's rules on bingo, which
is permitted in the State of
Texas. While the federal government agreed with the Tribes'
position, the State of Texas did
not.
"After an extremely long process in the judicial system, I would
like to congratulate our Native American business partners and
friends on their well-deserved win. This ruling makes it possible
for these sovereign Tribes to gain economic freedom and confirms
their rights as federally recognized Tribes. AGS stands by our
Tribal operator partners as they look to exercise their rights and
wish them success in current and future ventures as sovereign
Tribes in the State of Texas. We
are proud to support all our Native American partners throughout
the country, and, in particular, these Tribes that have fought so
hard and so long in pursuit of their economic freedom."
