The nation's top Indian gaming regulator on Tuesday urged tribes to commit some of their casinos revenues to education.

At a conference on gaming held at Haskell Indian Nations University. Montie Deer, chairman of the National Indian Gaming Commission, said casinos won't always be able to provide. So he said profits must be used to further education.

Deer was appointed to his post by former President Bill Clinton. His term has officially expired but will stay on until the Bush administration's replacement is confirmed.
