The Northern Arapaho Tribe shares a 2.2 million-acre reservation with the Eastern Shoshone Tribe. The Wind River Indian Reservation, which is centrally located in the State of Wyoming, has many diverse ecosystems that include rivers, lakes, streams, mountains, forests, sagebrush, grasses, canyons, natural springs, hot springs, and desert-like areas. There are approximately ten thousand tribal members, from both tribes, who currently reside on the reservation.
Gambling has ancient roots in Native American cultures and with the Northern Arapaho culture in particular, according to one tribal member "sacred and social gambling has been practiced by our people for centuries". The momentum of the Northern Arapaho tribe into tribal gaming reflects the trend throughout Indian Country that tribal gaming is the fastest growing source of economic activity on reservations in the United States.
The 789 Bingo and Casino operation, which is tribally owned, was established in 1988. The original 789 Bingo and Casino building provides an account of past economic failures of the tribe. The building was originally built for the purpose of loading docks for trucks in the late 1970s, which failed; and then in the early 1980's the tribe remodeled the building for a sewing factory, which also failed. |

In August 2001 the tribal council created the Northern Arapaho Gaming Agency, and appointed three gaming commissioners to serve on it. This agency was created in order for the tribe to begin the process of offering casino style gaming. The agency is responsible for regulatory oversight, safe, lawful, and honest operation of the tribe's class II and class III gaming operations and activities on the reservation. It promulgates, reviews, and revises, rules, and procedures to govern, facilitate, and protect the gaming assets of the tribe, license holders, patrons, and environment. It has the authority to promulgate, review, revise, and enforce technical standards and rules of each game of chance operated by the tribe. It also deals with a myriad of law enforcement agencies which include the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC), Riverton Police Department, Wind River Police Department, Lander Police Department, Fremont County Sheriff's Office, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and other agencies as needed. |
