I kid you not. They also have to be nonprofit entities. Every cent has to be accounted for. They're supposed to be for hospitals and schools or turned back into the casino as operational and maintenance fees. Most nations don’t have any other method to create income for the things mentioned. Oh, the Navajo have jewelry shops to sell turquoise and rent large plots of land to store nuclear waste. I was surprised that the Cherokee Nation even got a license to build a casino on the eastern lands in North Carolina.
