American Indian Gaming Operations and Local Development

Anicca C. Jansen

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1995, vol. 10, issue 2

Abstract: Casino gambling on American Indian reservations provides revenues for many tribal governments. Tribes use those revenues to improve infrastructure, provide social services on the reservations, supplement members' incomes, and start related tourist and other businesses. The potential for tribes and nearby non-Indian communities to use casinos as the ''engine" for local economic development depends on location and accessibility, local amenities, management skill, and intercommunity cooperation. Not all casino operations have been successful, however, and the future growth of American Indian gaming in an increasingly competitive market is uncertain.
