Gaming Ordinances

The IGRA requires that each Tribe enact a Tribal Gaming Ordinance that is approved by the NIGC Chairman before opening a gaming operation. The IGRA, 25 U.S.C. § 2710, and NIGC regulations, 25 C.F.R. Part 522, require certain provisions to appear in the ordinance. Additional guidance is provided in NIGC Bulletins 1993-1 and 2005-5. Below are the Tribal Gaming Ordinances approved by the NIGC Chairman.
