The Gaming Division works to ensure the highest degree of integrity in the conduct of all forms of legalized gambling within the State of Connecticut and the federally recognized Tribal Nations within the State. We do this by licensing or permitting all individuals and entities that are involved with legalized gambling, and by monitoring and educating to ensure compliance with the gaming laws and the Tribal-State agreements. We assure public confidence in the honesty and fairness of all facets of gaming for the highest-quality benefit to the State.
