Key Findings
  • Gaming revenue at Indian gaming facilities nationwide was approximately $26.4 billion in 2009.
  • Indian gaming revenue fell 1% in 2009, the first year of decline in its recorded history.
  • This decline was in large part due to the continuing economic climate.
  • Indian gaming's decline was modest in comparison to the decline in the commercial casino and card room segments of the gaming industry.
  • The decline of nationwide Indian gaming in 2009 was part of a continuing slowdown of Indian gaming in recent years.
  • This overall slowdown of Indian gaming on a nationwide basis is only due in part to the economy. Other factors have contributed to Indian gaming's slowdown, including public policies that have restricted the supply of gaming.
  • While Indian gaming declined on a nationwide basis, the performance of Indian gaming varied widely across states, tribes, and gaming facilities - there were both declines and growth.
  • The top 2 states, California and Oklahoma, generated 38% of total gaming revenue at Indian gaming facilities.
  • Despite an overall decline in 2009, Indian gaming continued to make significant contributions to the U.S. economy in terms of output, jobs, wages, tax revenue, and payments to federal, state, and local governments.
