found in Section 280 of Title 3A of the Oklahoma Statutes and the
definition of "covered games" in the Model Tribal Gaming Compact
codified in Section 281 of Title 3A of the Oklahoma Statutes, which
said codified compact offer provides the state may approve
additional forms of covered games under said compact by amendment of
the State-Tribal Gaming Act, and a compacting tribe may operate such
additional forms of covered games by written supplement to an
existing compact, the state hereby approves, subject to the
provisions of this section, an additional game offering as follows:

tournament formats and games in which the tribe collects a fee from
the player for participating, and all bets are placed in a common
pool or pot from which all player winnings, prizes and direct costs
are paid. As provided in this section, administrative fees may be
charged by the tribe against any common pool or pot in an amount
equal to any fee paid the state; provided, that the tribe may seed
any pool or pot as it determines necessary from time to time.
