Big Chief, Big Gamble!

LOL FACT: There are approximately 260 casinos on Indian reservations.


With $6.7 billion in revenue, Native American Casinos are quite popular. Gambling certainly isn’t new to Native Americans. In fact, it’s been part of the culture since the beginning of time. The Chumash people had two types of games: games that required skill to play and games of chance. They're ancestors often gambled on the outcome of the games. Each village had a special area, called malamtepupi, where games were played.
