Talk:Native American gaming

message: Why didn't we just assist the tribes with housing and education, as opposed to allowing them and others to turn our communities into gambling dens that breed crime, financial ruin, and child neglect? This was a no-brainer, but we are unfortunately governed by politicians such as California Senator Barbara Boxer, who voted to allow the building of such a casino on open space in Sonoma County, simply because her son had a financial interest in it.
 
Why is reservation shopping considered Political POV? It is currently being investigated by Congress with pending legislation to stop the practice.
The pending legislation would amend the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act to prevent non-indigenous tribes from locating casinos outside of their established lands. Further, it would bar newly recognized tribes from taking new lands into trust for the purpose of establishing gaming operations. If you are going to discuss other problems with Indian Gaming it is fair and appropriate to discuss reservation shopping as a national problem.
:"devoted to exposing the economic myths of Indian Gaming"; and political rhetoric in links is not the business of the encyclopedia. The topic of "reservation shopping" certainly could be addressed, but please leave you POV at the door. 2005 07:45, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

As you can see the proper name of this article is "native american gambling" not "indian gambling". The article should be altered to reflect this, with every instance of "indiam gambling" in it changed to "native american gambling". Bubuntu 21:59, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

message: It seems to me that this is a bit focused on gaming and its possible exploits and crimes. I'm curious if others think this scope is too narrow and borders on being aneutral for being too negative. Austin 19:34, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. For some tribes, gambling enterprises have provided a much-needed source of public funding. Although they can only be considered temporary or stopgap forms of economic development for reservation communities, there have been many beneficial outcomes, including funding the education of thousands of children nationwide from preschool through postgraduate. There are many problems as well, but I don't think they outweigh the benefits. --Node 05:11, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The NCAA has backed the casino, and other coastal communities further away support the Chumash efforts as well.
...which only had this as a citation: ref name="Law, Politics 2004" . For starters, that's not a citation. Furthermore, having worked for the NCAA, I can say with certainty that they never "support" any casino in any sense of the term. And stating that "other coastal communities blah blah blah" weighs heavily of OR. So, yeah, out it went. 98.232.51.88 (talk) 02:08, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Might this article benefit from a section on the entertainment these establishments offer? They seem to have provided venues for the stars and groups of yesteryear, which strikes me as a bit of a phenomenon. LorenzoB (talk) 19:40, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

message: This article doesn't explain why Native Americans operate gambling establishments rather than, say, movie theaters or amusement parks. Why is it that Indian casinos are more famous? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.163.222.67 (talk) 04:15, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

message: As far as I know, there is no article for First Nations casinos (in general). I'm not sure if they warrant a standalone article. Should they be incorporated into this article somehow? The Verified Cactus 100% 14:12, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think First Nations gaming is part of the same topic. It has a totally different history and legal basis. Reliable sources do not discuss them together as a single topic, as far as I've seen. I think it could best be covered as a section in a Gambling in Canada article (and eventually spun out if it grows large enough to warrant its own article). Toohool (talk) 18:04, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
