Colorado River Indian Tribes v. National Indian Gaming Commission (2006) Overview | LSData Case Brie

The case involves an argument over whether the National Indian Gaming Commission has the power to make rules about how tribal casinos operate certain types of gambling. The Colorado River Indian Tribes regulate gaming at their BlueWater casino through a tribal ordinance and a tribal-state class III gaming compact with the State of Arizona. The Commission established "Minimum Internal Control Standards" for class II and class III gaming in 1999. The Commission tried to audit the Colorado River Indian Tribes' class III gaming at the BlueWater casino, but the Tribe protested, claiming that the Commission exceeded its authority. The court concluded that the Commission's regulations are not valid under its authority because the Act does not explicitly grant the Commission the power to impose operational standards on class III gaming.
