Pursuant to, and in compliance with the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 (Public Law 100-497 and codified at 25 U.S.C. 2701), the Shoshone-Bannock Gaming Commission, was created by tribal ordinance as the first line of oversight to allow for the licensing and regulation of gaming within tribal jurisdiction.

With the mandate to protect the integrity and assets of the operation, the commission has broad oversight of all gaming activities, including compliance with minimal internal controls, employee and vendor screening and licensing, and compliance auditing.

The National Indian Gaming Commission is ultimately responsible over Indian gaming regulation on the federal level. These multiple layers of control ensure a high degree of integrity in gaming, as well as protecting the health and safety of patrons, employees and tribal assets.
