Re: Amendments to the Seminole Nation Gaming Ordinance
Dear Ms. McBee:

By letters dated October 13, 2003, and November 26, 2003, you submitted
amendments to the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma Gaming Ordinance (Gaming
Ordinance), codified as Title 15 of the Seminole Nation Code, for review and approval by
the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) Chairman. The Seminole Nation
General Council adopted the amendments on September 6, 2003, with Ordinance 2003-7,
and on November 8, 2003, with Ordinance 2003-20.

The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) and NIGC regulations require that
tribes conducting gaming submit their gaming ordinance and amendments to the
ordinance for review and approval by the NIGC Chairman. The Seminole Nation
submitted the Gaming Ordinance, Law No. 94-2, on February 24, 1994. The NIGC
Chairman approved the ordinance in a letter to the Seminole Nation dated May 31, 1994.

The first of the two amendments, Ordinance 2003-7, amends Section 106 of the
Gaming Ordinance, making the position of gaming monitor full time. The second
amendment, Ordinance 2003-20, amends Section 501 by restoring a provision of the
original Gaming Ordinance that had been changed by Ordinance 2001-12. New section
501 provides that net gaming revenues will be used for specific allowable purposes and
conforms the Gaming Ordinance to relevant IGRA requirements. Ordinance 2003-20
contains some minor punctuation errors that could be corrected b technical
amendment.

/
This letter constitutes approval of the two amendments to the Ngfion’s Gam
Ordinance indicated above. /

[ Sincerely

Philip N. Hogen
Chairman
