Native American Indian Casino Gambling

In 1988, Congress passed the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, which recognized "the right of Indian tribes in the United States to establish gambling and gaming facilities on their reservations as long as the states in which they are located have some form of legalized gambling".

Nearly 20 years later, Native American tribes posted casino gambling revenues of nearly $23 billion, narrowing the gap with state-regulated non-Indian casino gambling revenues. Native American tribes across the US are cashing in on their casino gambling operations located on tribal lands. Indian casinos have been approved and/or are running in California, Florida, Massachusetts, and several other states. Indian run casinos are expanding on what seems to be a daily basis and there appears to be no end to their expansion.
