ADDITIONALLY…
IGRA affirms that:
“ Indian tribes have the exclusive right to regulate gaming activity on Indian lands if the gaming activity is not specifically prohibited by Federal law and is conducted within a State which does not, as a matter of criminal law and public policy, prohibit such gaming activity.
HOW DOES A TRIBE SATISFY IGRA’S MANDATES?
By the creation of a Tribal Government Agency – a Tribal Gaming Regulatory Authority (TGRA) - that is authorized through the Tribal Gaming Ordinance to regulate gaming activity on behalf of the Tribe; to implement the provisions of IGRA by enacting and enforcing regulations that govern the conduct of gaming by tribal operators; and to ensure that gaming is conducted fairly and that the assets of the Tribe are protected. In most instances, the persons delegated by the Tribe to oversee and manage the TGRA are Appointed Officials and may, in turn, appoint an Executive to manage the agency on a day-to-day basis (i.e., an Executive Director)
