Supreme Court made a final ruling on Indian gaming controversy in Texas. The three Texas casinos are the Kickapoo Lucky Eagle Casino operated by the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas in Eagle Pass, Maverick County, TX, the Speaking Rock Casino operated by the Tigua Indians of the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo in El Paso and the Naskila Casino operated by the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas in Livingston, Polk County, TX.
Although reservations have sovereignty over state jurisdiction, Texas has fought fiercely in courts for decades to shut down each of the three casinos. The federal government has authorized three federally-recognized tribes in Texas to build and operate casinos on reservation lands under the U.S. Minimum gambling ages are 21 years old for casinos, 21 for poker, 18 for bingo, 21 for horse racing, 18 for the lottery.
