Arizona Tribal Gaming Revenue Stablizing

Unlike the continuing trouble with Nevada gaming, the tribal gaming properties in neighboring states are somewhat stable. Casino Gambling Web reports that current gambling revenue for the quarter will come in at around $22 million, about 1% higher than the same period last year, reversing the declining revenue trend of the last couple of years due to the economy.

The tribal properties in Arizona pay differing tax rates, depending on their compact with the state. The article states that there are 22 tribal gaming properties in Arizona, with each property paying a tax rate that varies between 1% and 8%, again depending on the compact.

Since Arizona stirred up controversy and a boycott due to its illegal immigration law, that seems to have not had a huge negative impact on gaming revenues.
