INDIAN GAMING - ANNUAL REPORT 2025 – 11
Indian Gaming has become a central part of many state and local economies and the data indicates our industry is playing a strong economic role in the area of employment and wealth creation. I encourage you to read our “2024 IGA Economic Impact Report” and you will see that Tribal properties are generating several billion dollars in capital costs, operations and maintenance contracts, security and surveillance, goods and services, and other subsidiary economic activity that keeps our Tribal Casinos as a destination location. By law, Tribal casino revenue is reinvested into the tribal government to help pay for education, health care, police and fire protection, housing, water and sewer service, transportation, government infrastructure and community development. Tribal Governments, like most governments, exist to provide a better standard of living for their citizens. We know that our Member Tribes are committed to rebuilding their Indian communities and creating sustainable economic models on the reservation. Indian Gaming revenues continue to play a vital role in this endeavor. A united Indian Country is our best path forward to meet the new technological and political challenges. In this changing political environment, IGA and our member Tribes will continue to share our economic development stories with America. Once Indian Country’s full story is told, all citizens will realize that the growth of Indian Gaming is truly another great American success story.
