Without debate, the Washington State Gambling Commission backed amendments to each of the tribes' gambling compacts, which spell out how wagering can be conducted in casinos as well as in adjacent hotels, conference centers and entertainment venues.
"The Commission's action is a big win, not just for tribal communities but for all Washington state residents," Rebecca George, executive director of the Washington Indian Gaming Association, said in a statement.
Under the proposed agreements, bets will be allowed in a sports book environment - similar to what one might see in a Las Vegas casino - as well as at kiosks on a gaming floor.
The proposed compact amendments must now be signed by Gov.
If no action is taken, a compact amendment is considered approved and published on the 46th day.
Its provisions served as a template for pacts with most of the other tribes.
Almost to a person they praised the commission's staff for working collaboratively to craft sturdy sideboards to the new undertaking.
Also Thursday, commissioners set a July 28 date to enact a number of new or revised rules to regulate sports betting.
