AG Opinion on Operation of Indian Casinos on Land Leased from TVA (2006)
Opinion Summary: The Tennessee Constitution prohibits the legislature from authorizing games of chance associated with casinos, including, but not limited to, slot machines, roulette wheels and the like. No exceptions are made in state law that would allow a federally recognized Indian tribe to conduct games of chance associated with casinos.
“We’ve been divided on issues far too long. It’s time to heal those divides and work together to provide for the health, education, and welfare of all Indian people living in Tennessee.”
