Indian gaming has become big business throughout the United States. More than 450 tribal casinos in 29 states generate some $27 billion in gambling revenue each year. With a complex and controversial federal regulatory scheme and myriad state and tribal regulations, Indian gaming is an increasingly important area of legal and regulatory practice. Tracing the genesis of tribal gaming and the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA), enacted on the heels of the Supreme Court's landmark decision in California v. Cabazon Band of Mission Indians, this work describes IGRA's key provisions, major legal and political developments, and the multitude of actors -- federal, state, and tribal -- who regulate the industry. Updates in this second edition include the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Carcieri v. Salazar, the spread of online gaming, the Great Recession, the Obama administration's stance on tribal recognition, land acquisition, and ''off-reservation'' casinos, and dynamic tribal-state politics.
