The House Natural Resources Committee is holding a field hearing in Oklahoma to discuss pending gaming regulations.
The National Indian Gaming Commission is proposing rules to clarify the difference between Class II games like bingo and Class III games like slot machines.
Federal regulators say technological advances have blurred the line between the two classes.
Oklahoma is the largest Class II market in the country. Tribes say the new rules will require them to install Class III machines, which require them to share revenues with the state.
According to The Oklahoman, Oklahoma tribes have 30,044 Class II machines at their casinos. that's 59 percent of all Class II machines in the nation.
The hearing takes place next Wednesday, February 20, at Northeastern A&M College in Miami.
