In 2015, the National Indian Gaming Commission approved gaming ordinances to allow the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas and Ysleta del Sur Pueblo to operate electronic bingo on their reservations. Our guests and employees now have certainty that the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas will be able to offer electronic bingo on our reservation for many years to come.”

“The highest Court in the land has made clear that our Tribe has the right to legally operate electronic bingo on our reservation, just as we have the past six years. “The Court’s decision is an affirmation of Tribal sovereignty and a victory for the Texas economy,” said Ricky Sylestine, Chairman of the Tribal Council of the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas. Both Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas operate electronic bingo facilities on their reservations. The decision came in the case of Ysleta del Sur Pueblo v.

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the State of Texas does not have the authority to prohibit electronic bingo on tribal lands because electronic bingo is not a game that is prohibited by state law. Supreme Court ruling will allow the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas to continue operating Naskila Gaming, its electronic bingo facility near Livingston.
