Supreme Court eliminated the federal prohibition on sports wagering, leaving it to the states to authorize and regulate sports wagering within their borders. Tribal casinos generate nearly 125,000 jobs for Californians, $20 billion for state and local economies, and $1.3 billion in revenue sharing to the state and local governments annually. In return, Indian tribes have upheld our commitment to California – operating well-regulated gaming on tribal lands that benefits Indian peoples and all Californians. Indian gaming has promoted tribal self-reliance – supporting education, infrastructure, health care, housing and other vital resources for our people. For the past 20 years, California voters have repeatedly stood with Indian tribes as we’ve sought to authorize and uphold gaming on tribal lands.
