A Thriving Tribal Gaming Market
A Vital Sector Supporting Tribes and Local Communities
The tribal gaming industry has grown from the small bingo halls of the late 1970s to global event destinations. Nearly 250 tribes operate more than 500 tribal casinos or other gaming locations across the country and generate 38 percent of all annual gaming revenue in the U.S.
This tremendous growth has enabled tribal gaming operators to invest directly back into tribal communities, providing diverse career opportunities, supporting local businesses, and funding critical tribal government programs and initiatives. The AGA is committed to partnering with our member tribes as they continue to provide key economic benefits and jobs to their communities.
