The Washington State Gambling Commission (WSGC) is the second oldest gambling regulatory agency in the nation. The Legislature created the WSGC in 1973 after a series of gambling related scandals.
Four members of the Legislature act as ex officio members. Ex officio members do not vote, except for purposes of approving or amending tribal gaming compacts.
