The Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association’s annual conference in Oklahoma City is showcasing the latest games and technology set to appear in casinos across the state. Matthew Morgan, chairman of the Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association, said he is proud of the group’s contributions to the state.
With next year marking (Governor Kevin) Stitt’s last in office, two of Oklahoma’s top candidates for governor shared their views on the state’s casino industry.
“I’ve seen firsthand what the tribal nations do for our communities throughout the state of Oklahoma. We should be working together a lot better than we have been,” Charles McCall, a 2026 Oklahoma gubernatorial candidate, said.
Attorney General Gentner Drummond, another 2026 candidate for governor, also spoke about the issue.
“I know that we have been out of step with our current governor, but 17 months from now, you’re going to have an opportunity to have a governor that recognizes and appreciates the value of all of Oklahoma’s 38 sovereign tribes,” Drummond said.
