The state is really pushing the limit on this. Native American gaming comprises casinos, bingo halls, and other gambling operations on Indian reservations or other tribal lands in the United States. Because these areas have tribal sovereignty, states have limited ability to forbid gambling there, as codified by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988. Alabama has three Indian gaming casinos. Each casino is owned by the Poarch Band of Creek Indians of Alabama, which is the only federally-recognized tribe in the state.
What happens on the res, stays there.

I was just about to post that only Native Americans (Specifically Poarch Creek) can run casinos in Bama. I live close to the one in Wetumpka and it’s parking lot stays full. The couple of times I’ve “donated” money to them, they were packed.
I will say that that particular one helps the community a lot...
And, if you dig deep enough, you will find that political donations by the Poarch Band of Creek Indians are the reason the Alabama legislature will not allow the people of Alabama to vote on legalizing casino gambling as well as having a state lottery. The injuns don’t want any competition.
