There are 527 American Indian gaming operations in the United States. These are owned by 245 of the nation's 574 federally-recognized tribes. These gaming tribes operate in 29 of the 50 states. The annual revenue from all Indian gaming exceeds $32 billion and represents 43% of all casino gaming revenue in the U.S. (Source: National Indian Gaming Commission)
FOR CANADA, please visit our First Nations casino section.
Each state has negotitated gaming compacts with their tribes. These compacts specify the minimum age for gambling as well as the type of casino games, number of slots and other gaming-related issues.
Many states set the minimum age at 21 if the drinking age is also 21 and the casino has a liquor license to serve alcoholic drinks on the casino floor.
Other states have set the minimum age at 18 or 19, and some have two minimum ages depending on whether or not there is a liquor license.
For state-by-state age limits, see our page entitled Minimum Gambling Ages.
At the present time there are 30 states with Indian casinos. Virginia will become the 31st if approved by Virginia voters this year.
Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming.
These 19 states do not currently have Indian casinos:
This list will likely be reduced in the new future, as Indian casino projects are proceeding in the states of Arkansas, Massachusetts and Virginia.
This list is ranked by number of slot machines, number of table games and the size of the gaming floor at each casino.

There are a small number of ballot measures in today's election that will affect tribal gaming in some areas of the nation. The Pamunkey Tribe is seeking voter approval in Norfolk, Virginia to build a $500 million casino and hotel. A Nebraska casino measure could upgrade casino games in tribal casinos to Class III or Vegas-style slots and table games. Sports betting is on the ballots of Louisiana and South Dakota.
VIRGINIA
Voters in four cities will decide whether to approve casinos. The cities are Bristol, Danville, Norfolk and Portsmouth. Richmond is also eligible for a casino, however a referendum will be held at a later date.
NEBRASKA
Nebraska voters will decide whether to approve a measure authorizing casino gambling at up to six Nebraska horse tracks. Voter approval would indirectly allow Nebrask tribes to offer Class III casino gambling under the U.S. Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.
SOUTH DAKOTA
Voter approval of a referendum to legalize sports betting in South Dakota would allow sportsbooks in all 11 tribal casinos and all Deadwood casinos.
COLORADO
Colorado voters will decide whether to approve baccarat and no bet limits in all state-licensed casinos. If passed, each casino city would hold a referendum for final approval. Tribal casinos could offer the same gaming options under the U.S. Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.
LOUISIANA
Louisiana has a sports betting measure on ballots in all 64 parishes. Voter approval would authorize the state legislature to legalize sports wagering in the next legislative session.

Small casinos were excluded from participating in the initial $349 billion Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Since that time the American Gaming Association has been working endlessly to change the policy.
When the issue was brought to President Trump's attention in a press briefing April 8, he said it would look into it. The result was a revised policy announced Friday by the Small Business Administration (SBA) which will now allow small casinos to apply for PPP funds.
CEO Bill Miller of the American Gaming Association said, "I'm grateful to President Trump and his administration for recognizing that commercial and tribal gaming industry employees deserve the same support available to other small businesses, and for the significant, sustained efforts of members of Congress to amplify the need for changes to the guidelines to get small gaming operators and their employees through this challenging time."

Nearly all of the Indian casinos across the nation have temporarily closed down to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The casino closures are voluntary decisions by tribes, which have sovereignty rights over state health regulations. However, during this coronavirus pandemic, these tribes are committed to strictly following the coronavirus guidelines of the federal and state governments.
The financial impact of these casino closures is devastating to most tribes whose primary source of income comes from casino revenues. The lost income is hurting the tribal programs, such as education and healthcare services, and in some cases may result in loan defaults.
The National Indian Gaming Association has requested help from the federal government. It proposes $18 billion in U.S. federal aid, which is 2% of the economic stimulus package (2% represents a proportionate share of the U.S. population).
In a letter to members of the U.S. House of Representatives, the National Indian Gaming Association wrote:
"Providing the means for tribal governments to continue paying all employees' salaries and benefits will immensely help this country recover."
The National Indian Gaming Association represents 184 tribes.
