Indians Torn on Gaming

The Indian gaming laws in the United States are quite complex and are a key part to the success and continuation of Indian reservations in the United States. As a concession to the US tribes, federal legislation mandates that the Indian reservations have equal rights to offer gaming and gambling within the state as any other location within that state. That means that if Florida has legalized bingo, then the Florida tribes are able to offer bingo on their land. Same goes with the land casinos, and there is talk that as the US battles over the online gambling industry, that the tribes could begin to offer this type of gaming as well.

The US Indian tribes though have long fought the US legalization of online casinos – there are several tribes that are very outspoken against the internet gambling industry. Still others though see the benefit in embracing the new technology and even further widening the reach of gambling for reservations that may reside in more remote locations or have less viability for land gambling venues. The debate is really quite valid, and the issues that the tribes have faced are problems and questions that all of the major land casinos in Atlantic City and Las Vegas have also pondered – will land gambling become obsolete with a legalized internet gambling industry?

There is no easy way to answer that question – it’s all speculation at this point. And the tribes have still not come to a consensus on the situation, arguments are heated and some tribes feel passionately that they should note support a US online casino industry, others have no firm opinion one way or the other.
