Gaming Compact
A Gaming Compact is a formal agreement between a Native American tribe and a state government that outlines terms for operating gaming or casino activities on tribal lands. It specifies regulations, revenue sharing, licensing, and operational guidelines to ensure legal and organized gambling. The goal is to allow tribes to conduct gaming activities for economic development while maintaining state oversight and protecting public interests. These compacts help balance tribal sovereignty with state laws, fostering a mutually beneficial relationship that supports community growth and governmental oversight.
