As the expansion of regulated gaming continues across the United States, the state-by-state landscape has involved several different models. In some places it’s a private industry with state oversight. In other locales, the state governments themselves are involved. Many jurisdictions represent a hybrid of those forms.
Yet others integrate tribal gaming authorities within their borders, either leaving gambling exclusively to them or comprising a yet different type of hybrid. For as much gaming expansion as has occurred over the past five years, there is still so much more potential. Tribal gaming authorities are well-positioned to play a big part in what’s left to unfold.
