NIGC Regional Analysis Using the NIGC statistical data, the Indian gaming industry is broken into seven regions. The Oklahoma market continues to lead the nation in growth, as the Oklahoma City and Tulsa Regions produced the highest growth rates (6.6% and 5.8% respectively). Meanwhile, the Washington D.C. and Sacramento Regions saw the lowest growth rates, but continue to generate the most revenue per casino ($249.74 and $108.72 million respectfully). Collectively, the Washington D.C. and Sacramento Regions generate 49.1% of the industry’s revenue. Significant trends to note by region include the following: The Portland Region has the most consistent growth rate (4.9% 5-Year CAGR). The region’s steady growth is attributed to the absence of gaming expansion and tribes continuing to reinvest in their existing facilities.

The Sacramento Region continues to adapt to the new environment after the economic recession in 2008. In 2012, gaming revenue remained $838.0 million less than the $7.80 billion generated in 2007. As tribes are adjusting to lower revenues, they are facing the continued threat of legalized online gaming. The Phoenix Region saw the strongest year of growth since the economic recession of 2008, increasing revenue by 3.9%. The increase in growth can be attributed to the overall economic market continuing to improve and the Navajo Nation’s expansion into gaming. The region is also becoming a focal point for how future compact renewals will be conducted, as 5 Pueblo nations and the state of New Mexico are currently working through the compact renewal process. The St. Paul Region saw the largest year-over-year increase in revenue growth (5.1% growth in 2012 compared to 2.5% in 2011). The region has also garnered international attention through the development of the Tribal Internet Gaming Alliance (TIGA) treaty. In October 2013, the Lac du Flambeau Tribe became the first tribe to ratify the treaty and TIGA is currently exploring the opportunity to establish an inter-jurisdictional agreement for internet gaming with the Isle of Man.
