Self-regulator of gaming is essential for the protection of fair gaming, tribal assets and resources and the general safety and welfare of the public. The Commissions sole purpose is regulatory and the Commission is separate from the Tribe’s role as owner and operator of gaming operations. The Commission was established in accordance with the Tribe’s Gaming Control Ordinances and federal law, and is responsible for ensuring the Tribe’s gaming operations comply with applicable federal, state, local and tribal laws and regulations. The Forest County Gaming Commission (hereafter “Commission”) is an independent tribal gaming regulatory body that regulates all gaming enterprises owned and operated by the Forest County Potawatomi Community (hereafter “Tribe”).
Additionally, the Gaming Commission ensures compliance with applicable Tribal, Federal and State laws as party to the State-Tribal Compact. Separated completely from the Tribe’s role as owner and operator of tribal gaming operations, the Gaming Commission’s purpose is regulatory – not managerial. The Gaming Commission is an independent body responsible for the regulation of the Tribe’s gaming.
