Native American Gaming

Native American gaming refers to casinos, bingo halls, and other gambling operations on Indian reservations or other tribal land in the United States. Because these areas have tribal sovereignty, states have limited ability to forbid gambling there, as codified by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988. According to Indian Gaming CPA Firm Joseph Eve's 2012 Indian Gaming Cost of Doing Business Report, average revenues of Indian Casinos across the United States is at about US $77 million.

Famous quotes containing the words native, american and/or gaming:

    But, depend upon it, you will love your native hills the better for being separated from them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Disney World has acquired by now something of the air of a national shrine. American parents who don’t take their children there sense obscurely that they have failed in some fundamental way, like Muslims who never made it to Mecca.
    Simon Hoggart (b. 1946)

    Sir, I do not call a gamester a dishonest man; but I call him an unsocial man, an unprofitable man. Gaming is a mode of transferring property without producing any intermediate good.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
