Native America Calling: The outlook for tribal gaming

The outlook for tribal gaming
Another year and another record revenue report for the tribal gaming industry.
The annual report by the National Indian Gaming Commission finds slot machines, table games, sports betting, and other enterprises reaped $43.9 billion in 2024. That’s up more than $2 billion from the previous year.
But there are potential setbacks on the horizon that could affect gaming, including flagging consumer confidence, confusing foreign trade policies, and federal government’s diminished regard for tribal sovereignty.
Tune in to get a status update and a look ahead for tribal gaming.
