Gaming, continued from page 1
The consistent growth of the Indian
gaming industry year after year shows how
well Tribes run and regulate complicated
operations. By staying in its regulatory
lane and supporting Tribes as the primary
regulators, NIGC has supported the Indian
gaming industry’s entrepreneurial spirit
and self-determination goals.
“All of Indian Country has worked
very hard to maintain a flourishing and
constantly growing gaming industry,”
said Chaudhuri. “The successes of Indian
gaming in the 30 years since IGRA prove
that the foundational principles of federal
Indian law should remain at the forefront
of any future public policy discussions.”
The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act
created the National Indian Gaming Com-
mission to support Tribal self-sufficiency
and the integrity of Indian gaming.
NIGC has developed four initiatives
to support its mission, including (1) To
protect against anything that amounts to
gamesmanship on the backs of Tribes;
(2) To stay ahead of the technology curve;
(3) Rural outreach; and (4) To maintain a
strong workforce within NIGC and with
its Tribal regulatory partners.
NIGC oversees the efficient regula-
tion of 506 gaming establishments oper-
ated by 246 tribes across 29 states. The
commission’s dedication to compliance
with the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act
ensures the integrity of the growing $32.4
billion Indian gaming industry.
