... in 2009 tribal facilities generated gross gaming revenue of $26.5 billion—merely 21% of gaming nationwide. ... Mohegan Sun recently refinanced $1 billion in debt. Foxwoods is working to refinance its $2.3 billion.[/b] But before lenders get paid, think about those “tribal-state” compacts again. Connecticut receives 25 percent of the “hold” of slot machines, i.e. the money left after winnings are paid out. In January, Connecticut’s share came to $24.8 million, and in the last two decades, over $6 billion from Indian Casinos. Pennsylvania requires 55 percent of the hold. Former NIGC Chairman, Harold Monteau states that only about 10% of tribes receive the majority of the revenue. Just how many hands are in the money jar? This means the tribe must use gaming revenue to improve its infrastructure, develop education opportunities, and provide social programs for the people. Even if tribes want to distribute gaming revenue in per capita payments to their tribal members, they must first develop a “revenue allocation plan” and gain approval of the plan from the DOI Secretary. The idea that money just flows freely into Indian people’s hands is pure fantasy. http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2012/06/23/myth-indian-casino-richesNot what I'd call reparations. Do your homework monkey boy
...hmmmm...
I don't recall you racist Whitefolks passing any laws, which grant Negros this type of compensation you just bragged about your Cauca-Indian kinfolk getting. Am I missing some legislation here? Where you Whitefolks granted us Slave descendants that type of money? Whitefaaaace?

Anyone know of Black Slave descendants getting reparations or getting this kind of hookup:

Gaming can be extremely successful because it stimulates the economy, increase tourism to reservations, reduces unemployment, raises incomes, and increases tribal independence while reducing dependence upon welfare. Native American gaming has created over 300,000 jobs in the United States.[4] Tribes in only 30 states are eligible to operate gaming enterprises because 16 states have no federally recognized tribes, and four states (Massachusetts, Missouri, Rhode Island, and Utah) prohibit Native American gaming.[5] 224 of the 550 tribes in 28 states operate the 350 Native American gaming enterprises nationwide,[6] and 68% of Native Americans belong to a tribe with gaming operations.[1] According to the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development, these enterprises earned $19.4 billion in 2005. As compared to the $4.5 billion earned by Native American gaming revenues in 1995, Native American gaming enterprises have shown substantial growth in just ten years. These enterprises, earning $19.4 billion a year, account for 25.8% of the nation’s $75 billion revenue (brought in by the total gaming enterprises in the country).[1] In addition, Native American gaming is the source of 400,000 jobs, and the profits from the enterprises often go toward programs that create jobs.[6] For example, 75% of the profit generated by Cherokee Nation Enterprises in 2005 was given to the Jobs Growth Fund, a fund that expands businesses within the Cherokee Nation to create more jobs.[7]
Revenues, by law, must go toward improving reservation communities. The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act requires that revenues go toward: tribal government operations, promotion of the welfare of the tribe and its citizens, economic development, support of charitable organizations, and compensation to local non-Native governments for support of services provided by those governments.[1] Tribes have boosted their socioeconomic status in the past several years by improving their infrastructure, but due to the lack of federal and state funding, have only been able to do so as a result of gaming enterprises. For instance, tribes often build casino-related facilities that draw visitors such as hotels, conference centers, entertainment venues, golf courses, and RV parks. Once a reservation has established a strong economic foundation, it can draw in businesses that are unrelated to gaming. A common trend is that casinos stimulate the economy, and other business sustain it. For instance, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians built in a water bottling plant on the reservation and, along with three other tribes, invested in a hotel in Washington, D.C. The Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska are involved in a number of businesses; some of which are Internet media, home manufacturing, used autos, and gas stations. The Morongo Band of Mission Indians, a small band in California, has opened a Shell station, A&W drive-in, Coco’s Restaurant, a water bottling plant, and a fruit orchard operation. In addition to involvement in private corporations, Native nations have enough sustainability to bolster government programs. Some of these projects include, but are not limited to: providing law enforcement, fire fighters, schools, translators for emergency response, college scholarships, assistance with mortgage down payments, protection for endangered species, monitorship for water quality, care for elders, police cars, foster-care improvements, and health clinics.[1]
Tribes sometimes distribute funds on a per capita basis in order to directly benefit its citizens.[8] Because “per caps” have sometimes shown negative effects such as a dependence on tribal government, low attendance in school, and an unwillingness to work, some tribes have experimented with decreasing per caps as punishment. To clarify, the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation Tribal Council deducted at least $100 from families’ per caps with children with low school attendance. This ordinance resulted in a 30% increase in graduation rates in just 3 years, a substantial increase. Furthermore, the Las Vegas Paiute Nation deducts funding for jail from the offender’s per capita because the Nation itself does not have a jail and must rent it from other governments. Punishments such as these provide an incentive for morality as well as financial assistance from the per caps themselves.[1]
States also benefit from Native American gaming enterprises. States cannot tax reservations, but they can, under IGRA, negotiate a compact and demand compact payments. Tribes usually pay approximately or less than 10% of profits to states in order to compensate for strains put on the state. It is estimated that the state of Michigan earned $325 million from tribes spanning from 1993-2003.[1]
It is required by law for a tribe to agree to a state compact if they request one, but the IGRA says nothing about local governments. However, many tribes do negotiate with local governments. They place a strain on traffic and emergency services, and it is not uncommon for a tribe to compensate for that. Native Americans pay $50 million annually to local governments across the nation. In addition, non-Natives hold 75% of the 300,000 jobs that belong to Native American gaming.[4]
With gaming profits, the Creek Nation of Oklahoma has built its own hospital staffed by Native American doctors and nurses.[5] Other tribes establish health clinics, dialysis centers, and fitness centers to deal with the problem of Native American disease and epidemics. Many tribes work toward securing hope for the future by improving schools. The Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe built two schools that teach fluency in English as well as Ojibwe language.[4]

Where does it say the givernment gave them money? Did you mean "government" there, my dumb, non-(Big 10 Conf.) university grad?
If so, then go do your homework and you'll learn the Indians could've accomplished none of that, nope, not one bit of it...without the fed govt reparations which allowed the casino phenomena to launch then morph into this unprecedented cash cow opening doors like I listed in my last post.
You punkazz White boy you should feel ashamed for hating Black people, so much, to whereas you now argue against our equally-fair compensation ...considering Indians didn't get this nation built on their, backs, as Black people certainly had it built on our backs.

Florida's Indian casinos make revenue gains Associated Press, @ap 12:51 a.m. EDT March 27, 2014 Florida ranked fourth overall in gambling revenue among Indian casinos with $2.2 billion in 2012, behind California, Oklahoma and Washington.
TALLAHASSEE – As Florida lawmakers take a break from debating legislation to revamp the state's gambling laws, new numbers released Wednesday show the state's eight Indian casinos again increased non-gambling revenue by 25 percent in 2012, far and above the 2.7 percent increase among Indian facilities nationwide.
It was the second consecutive year of a double-digit non-gambling increase, driven by the Seminole Tribe of Florida's two Hard Rock hotels and casinos in Tampa and Hollywood, said Alan Meister, an economist with Nathan Associates, which tracks Indian gaming.
Non-gambling revenue includes food and entertainment, a proven industry boon led by the larger casino entities in Las Vegas.
"The Seminole Tribe has been developing this project, this brand, and over time it has been able to leverage it and add more shows and restaurants," said Meister, who is the author of the newly released Indian Gaming Industry Report by Casino City, which tracks the performance of Indian casinos in the U.S.
The annual study, which tracks data through 2012, reports that Florida's eight Indian casinos increased gambling revenue by 2.5 percent that year, a notch above the 2 percent hike in 2011.
Florida ranked fourth overall in gambling revenue among Indian casinos with $2.2 billion in 2012, behind California, Oklahoma and Washington. The figure is a 3 percent increase, the second straight year of growth after a decline in 2010.
The report notes the expansion plans of the Seminole brand, including the hotel, showroom and conference center in Coconut Creek and a new casino in Hollywood.
"They're developing these other properties and expanding on what they have," Meister said. "I don't think it's any surprise that Indian gaming has been successful in Florida. You can see how nice these facilities are, and then there is the move into Class 3 gaming," which is casino-style games such as blackjack. The Seminoles declined comment on the report.
The gaming market in Florida and the strong performance of the two Hard Rock outlets have attracted large casino interests that have courted lawmakers for years.
