Indian Gaming is Highly Regulated
The Tribal Gaming Commission conducts background investigations on gaming employees and vendors and when appropriate issues them gaming licenses. The regulators establish internal controls, test gaming machines to ensure their integrity, ensure the safety of patrons, protect Tribal assets and enforce compliance with regulations by licensing sanctions, fines, and (when necessary) prosecution. In addition, the California Regulatory Officials can assist the BPGC in conducting background investigations on employees and vendors and can issue certifications for vendors and non-tribal member employees.
