Tribal Governmental Gaming Law

the long version

Practitioners without a background in Federal Indian Law will appreciate the introductory material which takes the form of a "conceptual glossary" providing working definitions of some Indian law terms. These are necessary to understand the issues which relate to gaming by Indian tribal governments. Includes the National Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, the Committee Report, and attorney opinions from the Office of General Counsel of the National Indian Gaming Commission. Beginning with the early case law which led to the development of the Indian gaming industry, major sections of the work address such issues as Gaming Management Contracts, the distinctions between Class II and Class III gaming, Tribal-State gaming compacts, the acquisition of land for tribal gaming facilities, and various other issues related to the Indian gaming industry.
