Minnesota lawmakers are planning hearings to discuss the state's regulation of tribal casinos.
The state's
Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement division confirmed that it hasn't performed inspections at some of the largest casinos in years.
Lawmakers say they are worried about the lack of enforcement.

Tribes say their facilities are well regulated -- by their own governments, the state and by the federal government.
