We all know that the Indian casinos in the reservations have their own settlements with their respective states, but is it true that they don''t pay any taxes? If they really don''t, do they pass their savings to us in any way? Let''s say, compared to a vegas casino, are the game odds better? Do you get a better prize for your investment in an Indian casino?

I'm pretty sure that they all have tax-exempt status.

As far as whether or not any savings are passed along to us, I highly doubt it. I imagine any extra money either goes into someone's pocket or is used to improve the quality of life for members of the respective tribe.

It pretty much depends on the state the casino is in. In some states certain types of games are banned, so they compensate for that for making the prizes a little less accessible and the odds a little harder to beat. I read a segment about this, you can check here: the legal status of the Indian casino.In the states where certain gaming types like craps are banned, what''s interesting is that even though the Indians are the only ones getting the gaming license in the state, they still can''t use all the games allowed in the other, more "liberal" states.

the reason they are able to sort of make their own prize rules is that they have no real competition! On the vegas strip you can choose the place with the best odd or promotions, the casinos in the reservations are usually the only ones around! I guess we had it coming…
