Gaming, like many industries, does not remain stagnant. Today, we will discuss the current regulatory structure of Indian gaming under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, as well as examine regulation of online gaming should Federal legislation be enacted. Gaming has been the single most effective of economic development for Indian Country. Revenues from gaming provide essential services to Tribal members, including education, health care, and housing.
