Excerpt from Implementation of Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, Vol. 3: Oversight Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Native American Affairs, Committee on Natural Resources, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, on Implementation of Public Law 100-497, the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 This report presents the results of our survey of the implementation of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. We performed the survey because allegations concerning contracts for gaming services indicated that excessive revenues were being realized by Operating companies at the expense of the tribes and that other improprieties in certain gaming Operations on Indian lands also existed. Over 170 tribes have started high stakes bingo games and/or casino-type gambling, such as blackjack, poker, and slot machines. With the revenues received from gaming Operations, some tribes have been able to build schools, hospitals, sewer and water systems, and other community facilities. Gaming revenues have also provided capital for financing new tribal industries. Further, gaming has provided employment for many Native Americans who live in economically depressed areas and overall has increased self-sufficiency on many Indian reservations.
