Tribal Gaming in the United States
Tribal gaming in the United States is a story of sovereignty, resilience and reinvention. From the landmark Cabazon decision in 1987 to the passing of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act a year later, Native nations have built one of the most consequential industries in modern America.
Today there are more than 500 tribal gaming operations across 29 states, generating over $42 billion in annual gross gaming revenue. Those dollars fund schools, hospitals, language revitalization programs and infrastructure on reservations — a self-determined economic engine unlike any other in the country.

Tribal Gaming in Canada
In Canada, First Nations gaming has grown from grassroots community enterprises into a national force. Provincial frameworks differ — Saskatchewan, Alberta, Ontario and British Columbia each take their own approach — but the through line is the same: revenues flow back into First Nations communities.
From Casino Rama in Ontario to River Cree in Alberta, First Nations-owned and operated venues have become cultural and economic anchors, supporting language programs, youth services and economic diversification well beyond the casino floor.
