Indian Gaming refers to the operation of gaming facilities by Native American tribes in the United States. This activity is regulated under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988, which allows tribes to conduct various forms of gambling, including casinos, bingo halls, and poker rooms, on their tribal lands. The act aims to promote tribal self-sufficiency and economic development. Tribes can negotiate compacts with state governments to determine the types of gaming allowed and the revenue-sharing agreements. The income generated from Indian Gaming often supports tribal programs, infrastructure, and community services, contributing to the overall well-being of tribal members.
