Gambling in the Pacific Northwest
The Emerald Queen Casino is a local Pacific Northwest Casino that was made available because of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988. The Puyallup Indian tribe benefited from the Casino and gaming practices because it enable the tribe to practice their traditions by the profit from the casinos. “The mythological foundations of many of these games reinforce a sacredness that reflected the strong bond shared between the game and the spiritual connection between the participants and their respective communities.” This shows perspective of how important gaming is for Indian tribes to continue their beliefs.
