Impact Overview The Dupris Consulting Group was tasked with providing the Indian Gaming Association (IGA) with key figures delineating the economic impacts of Indian Gaming for the year 2023. This endeavor aimed to underscore not only the profound effects of Indian gaming on reservation economies—providing crucial jobs and funding for social programs—but also its broader implications for various sectors of the national economy, including Agriculture, Manufacturing, Trade, Service, and Government. As previously stated, these impacts for 2023 were quantified at $101.7 billion in total economic output, facilitating the creation of 272,610 jobs on reservations and 397,496 off reservations. The updated total numbers of Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs) for direct gaming and ancillary jobs were determined through a combination of empirical data collection by Dupris Consulting Group and survey data sets provided by Casino City Press. Moreover, Indian gaming spending allocations and assumptions were refined using a blend of Dupris Consulting Group’s empirical data collection and financial metrics provided by Wipfli, LLP, as detailed in “The Indian Gaming Cost of Doing Business Report” for 2023.
REVENUES In 2023, the Tribal gaming sector of the economy garnered $43.1 billion in gambling revenues alongside $5.1 billion in ancillary revenues, culminating in a total of $48.2 billion in revenues. Notably, the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) reported $40.9 billion in gambling revenues for 2022, signifying a 5.4% increase from the prior year’s estimate provided by Dupris Consulting Group for IGA in 2023. While ancillary revenues are not tracked by NIGC, Dupris Consulting Group estimated a 12.5% growth in ancillary revenues from 2021 to 2022. Although a growth percentage for ancillary revenues compared to NIGC’s reported figures wasn’t feasible, it underscores the substantial growth trajectory of this aspect of Indian gaming. OUTPUT In the current period, Indian Gaming generated significant economic activity, yielding an overall economic output of $101.7 billion. This encompasses an economic output of $29.2 billion on reservations, where all Tribal casinos are situated, and $72.5 billion off reservations, emphasizing the far-reaching impact of Indian gaming beyond tribal lands.
