But why would the Indian want to work when every Indian gets lots and lots of money from the profits of the casino? Not every tribe has a casino. According to a NIGC fact sheet , out of federally recognized tribes, only tribes operate gaming facilities in 28 states.
Thus, tribes 58 percent have no gaming operations. Indeed, the rural and unpopulated geographic locations of many Native nations discourage gaming. Not every Indian has a job. As of the first half of , Natives experienced unemployment at Many tribes operate gaming facilities primarily to generate employment. The total number of jobs by Indian gambling created nationwide is impressive: , But up to 75 percent of those jobs go to non-Indian employees.
Areas of extremely high unemployment with a high density of Native folk are the exception—80 percent of gaming employees in North and South Dakota are Indian.
But jobs at Indian Casinos are low-paying and lag behind national wages for the same group of workers. Not every Indian gets money from casino profits. Whereas other gambling institutions may do as their stakeholders please with their net profits, tribal nations must follow strict rules. This means the tribe must use gaming revenue to improve its infrastructure, develop education opportunities, and provide social programs for the people.
Approximately 72 tribes give per capita payments from gaming revenue, ranging from hundreds of dollars annually to many thousands. Very few distribute large sums—Foxwoods stopped. The scope of Indian gaming is exaggerated. In response to the problematic quality of life that many Native American tribes are subjected to, they demanded freedom to run casinos in their territory. The Supreme Court judgment represented a significant breakthrough for Native Americans.
Many tribes began to set up tribal casinos, even in states where casinos are illegal. The proceeds from this venture are used to take care of the tribes. Tribal Casinos are built similar to the Las Vegas model. You can enjoy gambling activities and also access other excellent features such as first-class hotels and meals.
Tourists are free to visit the casinos. Compared to Las Vegas, the security is tighter because the native police are the security officials deployed to tribal casinos. Because it is a sovereign entity, the police can carry weapons to investigate and arrest troublemakers. Overall, tribal casinos are suitable for the local economy. It has also contributed to reducing employment rates as it brings in thousands of jobs. There are still question marks concerning who enjoys the benefits of these tribal casinos.
The revenue generated is not shared on a monetary basis to natives. Instead, they are usually used to build social infrastructures that are believed to benefit the tribes. Another common mistake people make is to assume that tribal casinos are run by natives only.
There are cases where a non-native company runs some tribal casinos, and management roles do not automatically go to natives. Many Americans believe that Native American tribes are incredibly wealthy because of the concessions, such as the power to set up their casinos in their territories. In reality, only a few tribes enjoy the benefits ; others don't.
