While Nevada is famous globally, the vast majority of physical casino locations in the United States are actually located on tribal lands.

The existence of these massive tribal resorts is the result of decades of complex legal battles and federal legislation.

How Tribal Casinos Became Legal

The primary goal of the IGRA was to promote tribal economic development, self-sufficiency, and strong local governments.

Under the IGRA, gaming is divided into three distinct classes, each subject to entirely different levels of state and federal regulation.

• Many tribes use casino profits to build massive infrastructure projects, funding local schools, state-of-the-art hospitals, and vital housing developments
• Some tribes distribute a portion of the net gaming revenues directly to individual tribal members in the form of regular 'per capita' payments
• The success of these resorts has completely transformed the economic reality for several formerly impoverished Native American communities

Why Tribal Slot Machines Sometimes Feel Different

In a Class II tribal machine, pressing 'Spin' enters you into a networked game of bingo against everyone else playing in the casino.
