Many opportunities exist for Tribal Gaming operation such as leveraging social media, games and loyalty programs to benefit brick & mortar casino operations while developing an online player database. This has the potential to be a vast opportunity with tremendous growth potential if proper action is taken. Items that need to be addressed include:
- Understanding Gaming & Social Media
- Assess Digital Marketing
- Develop a Strategic Road Map
- Financial Controls/Compliance
- Assess vendors/Partners
- Implement for Success
JOSEPH EVE has spent significant resources researching Internet gaming and its potential impact to Indian gaming. We have released a 17 page “Internet Gaming Overview” comprehensive report that will provide your Tribe with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions for their Tribe at the National Indian Gaming Associations 2010 & 2011 Midyear Tribal Leaders Membership Meeting. JOSEPH EVE has made several trips to Washington DC to meet with top elected officials on this topic including the following offices:
- Congressman Barney Frank
- Congressman Jim McDermott
- Congresswoman Shelley Berkeley

We feel that it is vital for Tribes to have a documented strategy on this topic that they can present to their membership. With billions of dollars at stake, this is an important issue that all Tribes should focus on.
